		The Palm Cockatoo, Probosciger aterrimus, is a large fl parrot of the cockatoo family.
		The Palm Cockatoo also has a distinctive red gape that changes colour when the bird is alarmed or excited.
		It is in high demand for the pet trade due to its unusual appearance, but does not breed well in captivity, requiring the removal of wild birds, and is therefore listed as CITES I. It is still relatively common in Cape York, but is threatened there by habitat loss.
