**Cacatua moluccensis** **Common Names:** Salmon-crested Cockatoo / Moluccan Cockatoo The Salmon-crested Cockatoo (*Cacatua moluccensis*) is a large and spectacular cockatoo endemic to the Maluku Islands of Indonesia, particularly Seram. It is renowned for its impressive size, powerful bill, expressive crest, and striking salmon-pink plumage. Adults are predominantly white with a delicate salmon-pink coloration across the crest, underparts, and feathers around the head and neck. The most distinctive feature is its enormous erectile crest, which can be raised dramatically when the bird is excited, alarmed, or displaying. Its large black bill and strong feet are well adapted for manipulating food and climbing through the forest canopy. The Salmon-crested Cockatoo inhabits lowland tropical rainforest and montane forest, where it feeds primarily on seeds, nuts, fruits, berries, and other plant material. Highly intelligent and social, this species is known for its strong personality, complex vocalizations, and remarkable ability to manipulate objects with its bill and feet. Its spectacular appearance and imposing crest make it one of the most iconic cockatoos of the Indonesian archipelago. **Scientific Name:** *Cacatua moluccensis* **Family:** Cacatuidae **Common Names:** Salmon-crested Cockatoo / Moluccan Cockatoo **Distribution:** Maluku Islands, Indonesia, particularly Seram **Habitat:** Lowland tropical rainforest and montane forest
