Gang-gang Cockatoo - Callocephalon fimbriatum

Cacatoès à tête rouge

Gang-gang Cockatoo male adult
This cockatoo has a rather comical aspect, with the wisps of feathers on its head and its creaking call. It breeds well in the LPF breeding centre, but in case of problems the use of Pink Cockatoos (Cacatua leadbeateri) as foster parents is a successful solution.
Ce cacatoès a une apparence plutôt comique, avec les tortillons de plumes sur sa tête et ses cris grinçants. Il se reproduit bien au centre de reproduction de la LPF, mais en cas de problème, l'usage de Cacatoès de Leadbeater comme parents de substitution est une solution qui marche bien.
