Deborah O'Shell, from Blair County Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, comes back to us this week, with an Umbrella Cockatoo.
Umbrella Cockatoos are the same species as parrots, cockatoos are just larger; they are native to Moluccan Islands near Indonesia; they average 18 inches in length; they have a crest on the top of their head that resembles an umbrella when lifted, hence the name; their feathers are all white, but sometimes the underside of their wings and tails have a little bit of yellow; they are very intelligent and affectionate; and they eat seeds, nuts, berries, pellets, fruits, and all types of veggies.
