(Not to be confused with the sulphur-crested cockatoo, which I will soon write a post about.)
The umbrella cockatoo (also known as the Cacatua alba) is a parrot with mostly white feathers, native to Indonesia.
They are considered endangered by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).
The umbrella cockatoo has all-white feathers, except for a few feathers on the edges of their wings, and a few on the tail, which are a light yellow (1). They have large crests on their heads that are retractable like an umbrella, hence the name "umbrella cockatoo" (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
