10 Most Beautiful Cockatoo Species on Planet Earth 

All cockatoo are beautiful, Just leave it at that.

2:55 “Citron is a quiet breed” I see someone has never met a cockatoo before...😂

Citron is a QUIET breed? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Mine is louder than a jet engine!

I live in Australia (around the north east) and we getting see cockatoos and sometimes black ones almost every day around here. It’s really great having them right outside.

Living in Australia seeing a flock of black(red tailed) cockatoos in the wild is always a pretty amazing sight

The pauses in between the sentences of the narrator is giving me anxiety

Not New Britain Ireland, New Britain Forest in Papua New Guinea. I was like wait what a tropical bird that lives in the frigid north????

I like when he said "This bird is about to be extinct" then the song said "WOW" 7:15

“on planet earth” thanks for specifying

The Palm Cockatoo, also known as the Drumming bird, is also found in abundance in the rainforests of Queensland Australia.

You mixing up the cockatoo species there..

I kinda love how little they actually know about the birds

Lol As an Australian where most of these are found I can only laugh at the ineptitude of this video .. especially the pronunciation of Galah!

All Cockatoos are beautiful, and special in their own way.

A difficult choice because these birds are one more beautiful than the other. All of them are unique included the black cockatoo is beautiful and elegant, love all of them.

So many inaccuracies in this video! It's laughable! 😂🙄 For starters, narrator says "The blue eyed cockatoo is found in the forests of New Britain and Ireland". Ummm - New Britain is an island off Papua New Guinea (with "Ireland" having nothing to do with it, being thousands of miles away near GREAT Britain). And Galah is pronounced "Gah-laa" not "gala" 🙄

What?! No mention of the stunning Moluccan cockatoo?

The red tailed black cockatoo was my favorite one

They are all beautiful, but Gang-Gang is the most adorable Cockatoo I have ever seen. They just bring out the smile in my face

Video is nothing less than amazing! Thanks for publishing!

@4:00 is a Greater Sulphur Crested and not an Umbrella. Also, beauty is in the eye of the beholder because all cockatoos are beautiful and each species appeals to different people.

"woodlands and forests of australia" YOU MEAN OUT BUSH

The Moluccan cockatoo always has my vote! They are among the largest cockatoos, however they can be very sweet and gentle.

Red Tailed Black Cockatoo - 0:10 Sulphur Crested Cockatoo - 0:49 Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo - 1:37 Citron Crested Cockatoo - 2:18 Galah - 3:12 Umbrella Cockatoo - 3:51 Palm Cockatoo - 4:30 Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo - 5:12 Gang-Gang Cockatoo - 6:00 Blue Eyed Cockatoo - 6:42

They shouldn't be kept as pets and should only live with humans is they are injured and can't be released back into the wild

This video, while showing many beautiful birds is very inaccurate.

Jokes on you every cockatoo is beautiful, every bird is beautiful

Had numerous galahs (pronounced g'lah or g'lar) which are excellent pets. The males are the crazy ones who can learn many words and noises. Males have brown pupils and the females have pink. Also had a young male Major Mitchell which took a liking to a young female galah. These too make great pets but can make quite a noise when excited. Both species need room and will be driven mad if kept for long periods in confined cages... so please don't get one as a pet unless you can give them ample space, time and love.

Awww so beautiful🌼absolutely love it✨thank you🌼

Such gorgeous birds

Really need to put a little more effort into these videos. The editing and research is so mismatched and incorrect.

As the parent of a Molucan cockatoo, I know that no matter how affectionate they are, they are happiest in the wild. Its heart breaking that my girl can never be & has never been in the wild. She is a rescue. She has endured some ugly things before coming to me. No matter how well I care fot her or provide her with an enriched environment, she will never fly free as she should have.

2:22 „This medium-sized bird is the smallest of its kind!“ *Alex the cockatiel would like to have a smol honk with you*

"bird is really rare and is on the verge of extinction" Mate, if you've ever been to the Murray River you'd know that's not true, corellas are literally everywhere there

どのインコ、オウムも可愛い❤ 特に、「モモイロインコ」と「キバタン」を飼ってみたいです✨ 大型の鳥はお世話が大変だから飼えないけどね😅

Turn down the annoying, monotonous background music!!

Sorry. This was hilarious! So many mistakes and incorrect factoids! Take this video with a grain of salt!

Very beautiful birds.

As an owner of an Umbrella Cockatoo, they do make great companions… for experienced owners. They are very challenging and can wear the patience and hearing. And unfortunately because people watch a funny video of one or get wrong information a lot end up in rescues and develop bad separation anxiety. I suggest that anyone interested in any bread cockatoo to visit a rescue. Spend a few weeks volunteering first and then if your still interested adopt. Just because you can get a hatchling and raise it doesn’t mean it will turn out any different from all of those at a rescue. And please be honest with yourself and your personal expectations so another one doesn’t end up going to a rescue.

A couple of things.I know from vast personal experience Rose Breasted do not live to 80 years, 40 to 50 years seems to be the max. Also the Palm Cockatoo lives in 'Cape York Australia' (not sure why they didn't include the Australia part). Why the Moluccan wasn't on the list is frankly mind-boggling. And the Pink Cockatoo (Major Mitchell) should have been way closer to the top.

As someone who has a galah (rose-breasted) cockatoo as a pet, I definitely think they are the most beautiful

Just a disclaimer birds are a lot of work and if you want one of these off the list just realize cockatoos are like toddlers that live for a long long time and never stop being toddlers. Also they're expensive af. edit: It's also not just gonna take "some time" to befriend your cockatoo, it's going to be hours upon hours or even a week or more. They're a lot of work so please just take my advice and research before getting a bird.

It said that a couple of species were the "friendliest to humans" umm that's just a matter of if it was handraised or not. Lol.

😍😍 Merci, ils sont tous magnifiques ! 💙 🇫🇷 Thank you, they’re all beautiful !

Love this channel keep it up! ❤️❤️❤️ One mistake though, gang gang cockatoos are not the heaviest cockatoo breed and are not 3 kg. They’re actually 300g

*IMPORTANT WARNING FOR PET BIRD OWNERS:* The food that we normally give to the canaries (and other companion birds) consisting of a "complete, balanced and top-quality seeds mixture" bought in pet stores or malls, makes the owners trust that their pet is well fed, but it's not so: indeed the birds health is at serious risk. WE MUST PAY ATTENTION TO DOMESTIC BIRD BREEDERS AND VETS and keep in mind that although we feed them with such a typical seeds mixture, our birds are very likely in danger of suffering a painful and unexpected *PREMATURE DEATH BY FATTY LIVER DISEASE.* Canaries, for example, will surely die at 4 - 7 years of age of the more than 15 that they can live. This is so because *the typical mixture contains low-fat seeds such as canary seed together with other VERY fatty seeds such as niger, hemp or nabine and, in addition, the birds usually prefer to eat the fatty seeds* so that their REAL DIET is unbalanced by excessive fat, gradually causes the fatty infiltration of the liver and in a few years causes fatty liver hepatitis and PREMATURE DEATH to pet birds. *Also the fruits because its sugars and specially the breeding paste and its pigments and THE SUNFLOWER SEEDS ATTACK THE LIVER* if they are taken too much or for too long. FLD IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF ILLNESS AND PREMATURE DEATH ON PET BIRDS; It's sad that pet birds are fated to die early and painfully in so many cases. You have to warn people to avoid it! It's a cruel disease that progresses silently and, when its unexpected symptoms begin, they are easily confused with other ailments so the owners usually postpone the visit to the vet at a time already critical for the life of the bird (besides that not all vets are trained to recognize this elusive and misleading disease, even to administer lipotropic and regenerative liver protectors in curative doses, just in case it's that and not a supposed blow). It's a process of slow and asymptomatic progression, but when its visible symptoms begin (acute phase) the disease accelerates. *SYMPTOMS OF THE ACUTE PHASE OF FATTY LIVER DISEASE:* First, overgrowth of beak and nails since months before, progressive sadness and/or pecking, hard belly (in many cases, with a dark spot with a half-moon shape on the belly, which seems a "tumor", to see it you have to wet your fingers to remove the down), falls from the sticks of the cage that seem for "errors of calculation" and then lameness (that make believe that they are by the previous falls, but both symptoms are due to that it hurts the liver), lack of flight and singing, the bird fluffs up his feathers or bends more or less slowly; Then, within a few weeks or a few days, heavy breathing with open beak, remaining lying on the floor of the cage near the food, sudden spasms from time to time (which make people believe that the bird is "epileptic" but it are twinges of pain of diseased liver), abundant greenish poop (caused by biliverdin which if it's not fasting, it means hepatic harm), then black and watery (from hepatic hemorrhages), then a strange purplish color of skin and beak, an excessive appetite and the final "improvement" of a few days (in the last phase, the already degenerated liver becomes deflated by what the bird seems to ameliorate), after which it suddenly dies among seizures (which may seem a "heart infarct" or a "stroke"). For the first symptoms the liver has already degenerated to 80% *but an urgent (and accurate) vet action can save your bird and revert the liver situation.* So in addition to giving to the birds lipotropic and detox / regenerating hepatic protectors preventively and routinely, breeders usually make their own mixtures with low fat seeds. *PREVENTION AND/OR TREATMENT:* The time to act is NOW that your bird doesn’t show yet the visible symptoms. It's necessary to ACTIVELY PREVENT THE LIVER DEGENERATION. Fortunately it's easy to do it: *It's very advisable to substitute progressively (within some weeks, as per the instructions of the manufacturer) the mixture of loose seeds for some pellets compound food of seeds, fruits and vegetables (preferably those that already include liver protectors), because this prevents the bird from filtering and eating mostly the fatty seeds (but without insisting if the bird does not get accustomed to eating pellets because he could die for starvation within a few days).* *And, whatever the diet, it's CRUCIAL to add to the drinking water or to the food LIPOTROPIC LIVER PROTECTORS that include: CARNITINE AND /OR CHOLINE, BETAINE, METHIONINE, etc. It's very convenient to add DETOX / REGENERATING LIVER PROTECTORS with THISTLE MILK, BOLDO, ARTICHOKE EXTRACT.* Liver protectors are not medicine but cheap food supplements manufactured by pet bird vet laboratories that remove the fat from the liver, clean it and favor its recovery. It's essential to add them to the pet birds diet to conserve their liver. It are appearing in the market compound feed for pet birds that don’t include fatty seeds and that already include several liver protectors. Webs on FLD: www.beautyofbirds.com/liverdisease.html Liver disease is a slow, on-going progressive disease where the liver tissue is replaced with fat. When the liver disease has progressed, the bird may suddenly appear ill. www.lovinghands.com/forms/Hepatic%20Lipidosis%20-%20Fatty%20Liver%20Disease.pdf One of the sadder diseases many avian vets see is that of hepatic lipidosis or fatty liver disease. It's sad in a number of ways since often the birds are very ill, life-threateningly so, or possibly having died suddenly. Often the owners have been unaware of the dangers of feeding their beloved pet the seeds, peanuts, or other fatty foods the bird obviously loves to eat. These are truly cases of "loving your bird to death". Any bird can fall victim to fatty liver disease. www.researchgate.net/publication/46105643_Treating_liver_disease_in_the_avian_patient Dietary deficiencies of lipotrophic factors such as choline, biotin, and methionine may decrease the transport of lipids from the liver. www.researchgate.net/publication/47716286_Valoracion_de_las_afectaciones_hepaticas_en_aves_ornamentales The clinical manifestations of hepatic diseases in ornamental birds are much more frequent than people could imagine and in many cases they are not appreciated, progress in a silent way and when they are evident, vet action may arrive late. Most any avian symptomatology should be considered as if it was a pathology that could be serious, and not allow the disease to develop because then it will probably be too late. A limp in a bird is not always an injury caused by a blow, but the symptom of a disease of some organ (usually the liver or an intestinal disease) that needs to be discovered and treated ASAP. When in doubt, change diet to one with the lowest fat possible (only birdseed, or with other low-fat seeds such as millet, quinoa, chia and vegetables) and administer lipotropic and regenerating liver protectors in curative doses immediately... although nothing could foresee a fatal outcome. There are also food supplements protectors of the intestinal mucosa and stimulants of the immune system. In doses according to the leaflets do not cause damage, it will surely save the life of your bird (if it's not too late), and will keep them with a basic wellness.

For god's sake - do a bit of research, will you?

The blue eyes cockatoo is hardly the most beautiful if anything it's rather plain compared to some others

*God's creation is amazingly beautiful for our amusement* from India.🇮🇳😃🥰🐦🕊️🐧

I love your channel🦜🕊️🐦🦃 You earned a subscriber ❣️

*thumbs down. Another tragically researched and narrated video

I live in Australia so most of these cockatoos live in my backyard XD Honestly I can hear them flying i their huge flocks on the other side of the block! Very cheeky birds, chew up everything they can get their beaks on.

All cocattoo are beautiful, video doesn't make much sense

I love watching this video but I think all cockatoo and all birds are gorgeous, birds are my favourite animal :)

Umbrella cockatoos are the most adorable, hands down!!!!

i'm pleasantly surprised and equally relieved that so many of these birds are found in Australia. As a nation, Australia is impressive as a culture of conservation and I imagine these birds are quite safe in The Land Down Under

The Salmon Crested Moluccan Cockatoo is a beautiful and friendly bird as well! I'm surprised it wasn't listed.

The Moluccan cockatoo should definitely be on this list, they are beautiful!

I love seeing these birds in the wild. They're breathtaking

I can't choose the most beautiful one. they're all soooo cute.😍😍😍

The very 1st one shown was the most stunning to me. I LOVE all of them but seeing that 1st one flying in the air took my breath away. ❤️❤️❤️

I just love cockatoos. All of them. Hard to pick a favourite. They're so full of character, either the ones in captivity, or the wild.

I cannot chose the most beautiful as they are all absolutely stunning specimens.💙thankyou for sharing, wasnt aware of some of these breeds💙

palm cockatoo is without a doubt the most stunning. also the crest of major mitchell is very colorful

Soooooooooooo CUUUTE 😭💕😫 Especially when they puff up the feathers around their beaks. precious. 🥰

Why didn't you mention the goffin cockatoo, the smallest, also very friendly toward humans

PSA: Cockatoos have very different body language than other birds and you can't see eye pining due to their black eyes. That's a huge aggression signal you can miss. They are cuddly, but they also dive bomb and attack owners without warning. They are very, very, very difficult birds to keep. Lovely with the right people though. I'm sure some of you have a wonderful relationship with yours but that doesn't mean the rule isn't valid.

Some time? Mate u have to give it attention 24/7

The are a blessing to all the world. Rosettas are also stunning birds hailing from Australia.

Amazing!

I’d have to disagree with your order but they are all beautiful! Cockatoos are the sweetest, cuddly birds ever!

Gosh, the Blue-Eyed Cockatoo looks like a white Moluccan! Such a pretty bird! The Gang-gang cockatoo is also beautiful, but my favorite is the Major Mitchell's. The colors are so stunning!

Who else enjoyed learning about all Cockatoo?

Some of the information in this video is inaccurate. I’ve had cockatoos for decades and don’t agree with all the info here. In my opinion all cockatoos are beautiful.

"is the smallest of its kind" Well, believe it or not, cockatiels are also technically cockatoos, so that'd make them the smallest.

Lazy video production. Wouldn't trust any of the "facts" or observations.

Quite a few instances of talking about one bird while showing footage of another, particularly among the white varieties. Otherwise, very lovely birds.

Whatta a debilitating music to be accompanied by..

I have citron crested cockatoo. It’s very sweet and isn’t much of a challenge. They can be annoying to some people. They will scream as soon as you leave the cage. I let mine out everyday and he watches television with us. He likes wood to graze on so we supply him with it as much as we can. It seems to comfort him. Not once have I been bite by him. They can cause major damage to your house if left unsupervised. Other than that, a very pretty loving bird.

All of them are magnificent!

They are all magnificent 👍👍👍👍

I think the Major Mitchell’s (Leadbeater’s) Cockatoo is the most spectacular, but whatever pet you have is probably the most beautiful. My Angel is a Sulphur-Crested that we adopted, and she’s always been a bit of a feather-chewer, so she’s not going to win any contests, but she is beautiful to me!

People forget that these birds can live longer than you live. Before having them as pet, learn more about these birds. My grandma had one from her young age, she is no more but the bird is there, it's about to see 4 generation of kids; the bird is still healthy and troublesome and nuisance and we find it very hard to maintain it. So please be careful and see if your future generation still can take care of a pet.

Birds with 80 years lifespan should not be a pet. Let them live in the wild.

Guys you haven't done your research very well here- some of those shots of the "blue eyed cockatoo" are actually of Corellas which are a completely different and far more common species altogether- there are 3 different Corella species in total: 2 Long billed and one short billed. There are also a number of different species of Red Tails around Australia too, not just one.

When I worked with parrots, there was one woman I met who had a citron / galah cross. Was not even aware that was possible??? But he definitely didn't look like any other cockatoo that I'd seen. Mostly soft grey and creamsicle orange. Really soft, medium length crest, just an incredibly cool bird. Sweet as hell, too.

Wait, did he seriously call a galah a gala?!

Who came for the thumbnail? 😂

They may be pretty but when it comes to tameing or interacting tell me how it is blind with no fingers

3:13 who notice that's vinny from Marlene m'chohen

What?? The Blue Eyed Cockatoo isn’t from Ireland. It’s from lowland forests of New Britain in Papua New Guinea.

Bro, some of that footage for the black palm cockatoo was from one of Conan’s videos. -_- Give credit where credit is due. Also, I don’t know why some of these are ranked where they are...

2:18 Citron CRUSTED Cockatoo. Tasty tasty crust.

Indah nya burung itu tuan , sehat selalu dan terus berkarya 👍

I like the elegance of the Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo so much.

Breeds .... they are species, ya ningnongs!

Umbrella Cockatoos sometimes can be really crazy 😁

5:00 "It has an average lifespan of *40 and 60* years". What?

These birds are gorgeous ❤and have wonderful natures

They’re all beautiful but the major Mitchell’s is my favorite
