Background of Caparrotua Cockatoos

The Caparrotua Cockatoo bird for sale belongs to a unique genus of cockatoos native to regions spanning from the Philippines and Wallacea to the Solomon Islands, extending southward to Australia. Formally recognized by Mayr, Keast, and Serventy in 1964, the genus Caparrotua encompasses species that are primarily white in plumage, often tinged with soft pink or yellow hues. The species are distinguished by their expressive crests and bills, which may be black (subgenus Caparrotua) or pale (subgenus Licmetis). Initially classified by Georges Cuvier under the genus Kakatoe in 1800, this genus was later revalidated, with the Red-vented Cockatoo (C. haematuropygia) as the type species, a classification sometimes found in older bird references.
