The Moluccan cockatoo (Cacatua moluccensis) also known as the Salmon-crested cockatoo, is a cockatoo endemic to Seram and surrounding islands, which are located in the Indonesian archipelago (island chain) also known as the Moluccas, Maluku or Spice Islands. The Moluccan is the largest of the white cockatoos, with the female larger than the male on average. Moluccans live in small, loose flocks of 20 or more birds. They are very gregarious and have one of the shrillest cries of all birds. They have an average life span of 65 or more years. The Moluccan Cockatoo is an endangered species.
