Description
The Solomons cockatoo (Caparrotua ducorpsii), also known as the Ducorps’s cockatoo, Solomons corella, or broad-crested corella, is a species of cockatoo endemic to the Solomon Islands archipelago. This small white cockatoo is larger than the Tanimbar corella yet smaller than the umbrella cockatoo. The species is common across most of the Solomons, absent only from Makira in the south. It inhabits lowland rainforests, secondary forests, cleared areas, and gardens.
The Solomons cockatoo is about 30 cm (12 in) long. They are predominantly white. They have a blue eye ring and a recumbent crest that resembles a sail in its raised state. Like other members of the subgenus Licmetis, it has a pale bill. Solomons Cockatoo Parrots
