Description
Caparrotua Cockatoo is a genus of cockatoos found from the Philippines and Wallacea east to the Solomon Islands and south to Australia. Mayr, Keast, and Serventy validated Caparrotua in 1964 and dismissed Kakatoe. They have a primarily white plumage (in some species tinged pinkish or yellow), an expressive crest, and a black (subgenus Caparrotua) or pale (subgenus Licmetis) bill. Georges Cuvier defined the genus Kakatoe in 1800, with the red-vented cockatoo (C. haematuropygia) as the type, and some older bird books use the latter name. Caparrotua Cockatoo

The genus was first described by Brisson in 1790, with the white cockatoo (C. alba) subsequently designated as the type species. Today, several species from this genus are considered threatened due to a combination of habitat loss and capture for the wild bird trade, with the blue-eyed cockatoo, Moluccan cockatoo, and umbrella cockatoo considered vulnerable, and the Red-vented cockatoo and yellow-crested cockatoo considered critically endangered.

Just like my other feathered friends at the rescue, I’m looking for that special person to fall in love with me and take me home. My person will need to have lots of experience with large birds, cockatoos in particular. I tend to get really excited, really quickly, and sometimes I forget my manners (especially the ‘don’t bite the hand that feeds you’ rule). If you’re experienced in cockatoo behavior and once you’ve spent time with me, you’ll learn my warning signs and realize that I sometimes just need a little bit of quiet time to calm down.
I hope you will stop by to meet me!
