Because of its striking appearance and wonderful temperament, the Moluccan cockatoo (also known as the Salmon Crested Cockatoo), is a favorite among bird fanciers. One of the largest cockatoo species, the Moluccan Cockatoo, is rosy pink with each bird having varying shades of pinkness. In the wild, their diet includes seed, fruit, nuts as well as insects. The Moluccan Cockatoo is native to the Seram archipelago in eastern Indonesia. In this image, the cockatoo is perched on an Indian Ghost Tree (Sterculia Urens).
