Cockatoo (Rose Brested)

The rose breasted cockatoo is native to Australia where it is known as the "Galah". With its rose-pink chest, underparts, neck and face contrasting against its gray wings and tail, the Rose-breasted Cockatoo is definitely a striking bird. The rose breasted cockatoo is known to destroy crops and is considered to be a pest in many regions.

It is prone to fatty tumors and therefore needs to be on a well-balanced diet that is not too high in fat. The rose breasted cockatoo eats vegetables and grains.
