Palm Cockatoo

Palm Cockatoos are rarer and more expensive than other Cockatoos due to difficulties in reproducing the species. The bird, sometimes known as the Great Black Cockatoo, can cost up to $20.000. They're one of the most vocal parrot species, with a wide range of vocalizations. Because of their sluggish mating habits and the disappearance of their habitats owing to human development, they are rare birds. Every two years, a female Palm Cockatoo lays a single egg.

In addition, the palm cockatoo requires a lot of attention and maintenance.

Depending on its size (the black Palm Cockatoo is the largest cockatoo), the palm cockatoo consumes a lot and is particular about what it eats. Because the birds are more susceptible before they reach young adulthood, they require regular medical attention from an early age. All of these expenses usually imply that breeders spend a significant amount of money before selling their birds.
