Cacatoès Noir

• Black microglossus •

 

Good morning all,

 

This cockatoo fascinates with its dark plumage. But it has a much more surprising feature: it is the only animal besides humans to use percussion! By pruning branches and beating on trunks, he uses this instrument to court females. It is characterized by its large crest (here folded) and its beak which is one of the most powerful in parrots. This rather noisy forest bird is also an excellent imitator, reproducing the calls of other animals and certain sounds of nature.

 

I hope you like the shot! ⚡️

 

Have a lovely day everybody ! 🌿
