Untitled Document A remnant population of the Philippine Cockatoo was discovered on one of the islands, but overall the environmental situation was determined to be inappropriate for a translocation. A community-based wardening scheme on Rasa island, which has the densest cockatoo population known to remain, ensured that no nests were poached. Between 1999 and 20031, the activities of the LPF's project Philippine Cockatoo Conservation Program (PCCP), which is coordinated in the Philippines by Dr Peter Widman, focused on the small offshore island of Rasa and the nearby mainland community of Narra in eastern Palawan. www.loroparque-fundacion.org /1_1_8_Eng.htm   (367 words)

Cockatoos Cockatoos are probably some of the top birds that are re-sold as adults, when their owners get tired of their demands or find themselves in a situation where they can no longer cope with them. Generally regarded as one of the most attractive cockatoos, being mainly pink with a large, spectacularly colored crest, these birds are available in the US, but rare and, being highly in demand, rather expensive. The smaller cockatoos are quieter simply due to reduced size, but even a Goffin's is loud. www.geocities.com /RainForest/Vines/1492/cockatoos.html   (2285 words)

Auk, The: Molecular systematics and biogeography of the Cockatoos (Psittaciformes: Cacatuidae) Morphologically, cockatoos are distinguished from other parrots by having an erectile crest and lacking dyck texture in their feathers, which produces blue and green in the plumage of other parrots. We suggest that Australia is the region of origin of cockatoos and that a combination of vicariance and dispersal resulted in two distinct radiations of the genus Cacatua in the islands north of the Australian continent. Biogeographic analysis of the mtDNA phylogeny supports the hypothesis that the cockatoos originated in Australia and that a combination of vicariant speciation and dispersal may have contributed to the diversification of the genus Cacatua in two separate radiations to the island regions of Indonesia, New Guinea, and the South Pacific. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3793/is_199901/ai_n8832514   (1171 words)

Parrot Acronyms or Abbreviations McGraw said an interesting aspect of the five polyenal lipochromes that provide the red in parrots, is that the pigment is found only in the bird’s feathers and nowhere else in the body of the bird, indicating that parrots manufacture these molecules internally and directly at the maturing follicles of the growing, colorful plumage. Now, an Arizona State University researcher has uncovered the chemistry behind the colors of parrots, describing on a molecular level what is responsible for their bright red feathers. They found a suite of five molecules, called polyenal lipochromes (or psittacofulvins), that color parrot plumage red in all of the species studied. www.plannedparrothood.com /acros.html   (366 words)
