Complete cockatoo collection dispersal after much deliberation and sole searching I have decided to disperse my complete flock of cockatoos (now even with gaps in the collection it must still represent 1 of the most unique cockatoo collections worldwide?) aviary block, holding cages 205Litre seed storage drums, stainless steel water dishes. Borgs Brooder.
This flock represents decades of work accessing and successfully captive breeding all recognised subspecies of Australian White Cockatoo, except the Queenslandica Sulphur Crested Cockatoo Cacatua galerita queenslandica.
I would suggest that this flock would need an experienced, competent and dedicated avicultualist to take it on?
The collection entails 65 adult birds plus chicks (see below) and currently represents breeding pairs of Fitzroy Sulphur Crested Cockatoos Cacatua galerita fitzroyi, Muirs Corellas Cacatua pastinator pastinator, Butlers Corellas Cactua pastinator butleri. The Butlers Corella pair are currently raising to of their own chicks.
I pair of Western Australian Short Billed Corellas Cacatua sanguinea westralensis have successfully been used as reliable foster parents for multiple species/subspecies of other Australian White Cockatoos over the years. They are currently raising foster Muirs Corella chicks
Bonded pairs represented by Muirs Corellas X 2 pair, Northern Short Billed Corellas Cacatua sanguinea sanguinea.
The only 2 corellas missing from this collection of 7 total is the Normantoni Short Billed Corella and the Eastern Long Billed Corella Cacatua tenuirostris.
No nominate Sulphur Crested Cockatoos Cacatua galerita galerita or Queenslandica Sulphur Crested Cockatoos.
