	Bird Times Magazine Moluccan Cockatoo Profile
		As with all members of the white cockatoo genus of Cacatua, the Moluccan cockatoo has a moveable crest upon the crown of the head, white powder-down on the feathers and is sexually dimorphic by iris coloration.
		Given these climatic conditions, pairs of Moluccan cockatoo that were left to rear their own chicks were still capable of rearing two broods of young each year if the first brood of chicks were removed from the parents aviary by four weeks after fledging.
		While a breeding pair of Moluccan cockatoos has eggs or chicks inside of the nest box, the husbandry routines of feeding and cleaning should be kept as regular as possible so that the birds become used to the presence of their keeper at certain times of the day.
