Major Mitchell's Cockatoo is an exquisitely colored cockatoo native to arid and semi-arid inland Australia, known for its beautiful pink plumage and elaborate crest.
Where to spot
Arid and semi-arid woodlands, particularly mallee and cypress pine woodlands, in inland Australia.
How to spot
Look for its soft pink plumage on the face and underparts, white upperparts, and the magnificent, banded red and yellow crest. They are shy and often difficult to approach closely, so binoculars are recommended.
When to spot
Active during the day, often seen in pairs or small family groups. Observable year-round. More easily seen around water sources in dry periods.
