Slender Billed Cockatoo

When searching for Cockatoo Birds For Sale, the Slender-billed Cockatoo stands out with its distinctive features and charming personality. This parrot, native to Australia, is not only a visual delight but also a loving companion that brings joy and entertainment to any home.

The Slender-billed Cockatoo is a medium-sized parrot, similar in size to the Ducorps Cockatoo, with a unique appearance that sets it apart from other cockatoos. Its small crest and oversized beak give it a comical look, complemented by its predominantly white or pinkish feathers. This bird also boasts patches of orange or salmon over its eyes, resembling a mask, and on its throat, which looks like a bib. Additionally, the bare, blue patch of skin around its eyes is a characteristic feature of cockatoos, adding to its quirky charm.

Slender-billed Cockatoos have an average lifespan of 20 to 30 years, making them long-term companions. When it comes to sexing, these birds are relatively easy to distinguish once they reach maturity, typically around 5 years of age. While juvenile birds appear female, with brown irises, mature males develop a nearly black iris. This eye color difference is a simple way to identify the gender of your bird.
