Cockatoo

Cockatoos are a family of medium to large birds known for their striking crests, strong beaks, and sociable nature. Found primarily in Australasia, they are characterized by their vibrant plumage and intelligence. Cockatoos often engage in playful behaviors and are capable of mimicking sounds and human speech. They live in a variety of habitats, including forests, woodlands, and urban areas. Some species are endangered due to habitat loss and the pet trade. Cockatoos are popular pets, but they require significant attention and mental stimulation due to their social and active personalities.
