(Latham 1790) and the Lesser Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua sulphurea) (Gmelin 1788)".
The principal purpose of our study was to clarify the systematic status of the Lesser Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua sulphurea) and Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) populations, as well as the creation of species and subspecies descriptions, which make it possible to identify wild-born birds of unknown provenance.
The status of the subspecies " Sulphur-crested Cockatoo " (Cacatua galerita galerita) was acknowledged, but not the species status of Cacatua galerita.

The Eastern Long-billed Corella (Cacatua tenuirostris) is found in south-eastern Australia whilst in southern Western Australia exists the Western Long-billed Corella in two distinct subspecies.
Cacatua pastinator butleri can be found in the northern Wheatbelt where it has reached plague proportions in some areas having greatly benefited by the weeds introduced with cereal cropping.
Conversely Cacatua pastinator pastinator found only in the region of Lake Muir further to the south, is listed as Endangered with only around 2,000 surviving.

 Auk, The: Molecular systematics and biogeography of the Cockatoos (Psittaciformes: Cacatuidae)
Contrary to the mtDNA phylogeny, however, Callocephalon fimbriatum, E. roseicapillus, and Cacatua leadbeateri were grouped with Cacatua galerita, C. sanguinea, and C. tenuirostris (Fig.
The congruence between the mtDNA and total-evidence tree thereby supports the hypothesis that the mtDNA tree represents the organismal phylogeny of the cockatoos, with the caveat that the two trees might be congruent simply because the number of DNA characters was greater than that of allozyme characters.
The mtDNA phylogeny of the present study supports taxonomic recognition of these two lineages within the Cacatua, presumably also including the non-Australian species C. sulphurea, C. ophthalmica, C. alba, and C. moluccensis in Schodde's (1997) subgenus Cacatua (Cacatua) and C. ducorps, and C. goffini in his subgenus Cacatua (Licmetis).

Their aviary is housed in a group of six cockatoo flights all the same dimension.
They are housed between a pair of Major Mitchell Cockatoos (Cacatua leadbeateri) and a pair of Long-billed Corellas (Cacatua tenuirostris).
Possibly, my housing for these birds is not the best, as breeding results would probably be better if housed in a flight away from other birds, or completely partitioned off from view of their neighbours, a move I anticipate doing in the near future for all my flights.

 Parrots - An essential reference for keeping more than 200 parrot family species
There are five different genera of cockatoos, but it is the members of the Cacatua genus that are most commonly represented in collections; the various fl cockatoos are all scarce in aviculture.
The feature that distinguishes this group of birds is the crest on their heads, which is usually raised when they are excited or alarmed.
Galahs have a number of virtues as aviary birds; they are considerably less noisy than the Cacatua species and often more prolific, laying up to five eggs in a clutch, and sometimes nesting twice during the course of a breeding season.
