Pink Cockatoo parrot

Pink Cockatoo parrot
Pink Cockatoo (Eolophus roseicapilla, Eolophus roseicapillus) is a very widespread and frequent in Australia. It is a medium-firm built cockatoo species conspicuous pinkish and gray-colored feathers. Kukma is short and directed backwards, and long wings reaching nearly to tip slightly rounded tail. It is the only species in the genus Eolophus.

The area in which they live and the population density of this species are on the rise. This is attributed to growing influence of humans on the environment by changing the dry habitat in agricultural areas, suitable for sheep, wheat and corn. This expansion and strengthening of population density has negative impact on other types of cockatoos. The North Australian pink cockatoo is a protected species, while in other parts of Australia regularly allows his shooting, because it is considered a pest.
