| Andy Yip :: Major Mitchell Cockatoo (Cacatua leadbeateri) | |
|
Named the Major Mitchell Cockatoo after the explorer Sit Thomas Mitchell, and also known as the Pink Cockatoo, these shy birds generally feed in pairs or small groups, and will alight if approached by an observer. They have not prospered under the rural development of inland Australia like other birds such as the Galah. Loss of habitat, trapping for the illicit bird trade and out-competition by Galahs for nesting hollows have all combined to contribute to a decline in number of the Major Mitchell Cockatoo. |
