Major Mitchell's Cockatoo
SKU: PET-1050
One of the most beautiful cockatoos in the world — stunning pink and white plumage with a spectacular crest.
Major Mitchell's Cockatoo, also known as the Leadbeater's Cockatoo, is widely considered one of the most beautiful cockatoo species. Their soft pink and white plumage is complemented by a spectacular multicolored crest with bands of yellow, red, and white that fans out dramatically when raised. Native to arid and semi-arid regions of Australia, they have a more reserved and dignified personality compared to other cockatoos. They bond strongly with their primary caretaker and can be loyal, affectionate companions. They require an experienced bird owner who understands their need for patience and gentle handling. Major Mitchell's are less vocal than many cockatoos and are known for their graceful, almost regal demeanor. They need spacious housing, a carefully managed diet, and consistent socialization.
Diet
Cockatoo pellets supplemented with fresh vegetables, fruits, sprouted seeds, and limited nuts. They are prone to obesity, so diet management is crucial. Avoid sunflower seeds and high-fat items.
