Peaches excited!

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
This is "Peaches" a Moluccan cockatoo getting excited! He is missing the bottom half of his top beak because his mom accidentally bit it off when he was young and it was still soft.
The Moluccan Cockatoo, Cacatua moluccensis also known as Salmon-crested Cockatoo is a cockatoo endemic to south Moluccas in eastern Indonesia. At 50 cm, it is the largest of the white cockatoos. The female is larger than the males on average. It has white-pink feathers with a definite peachy glow, a slight yellow on the underwing and underside of the tail feathers and a large retractable recumbent crest which it raises when threatened to frighten potential attackers (may also be raised in excitement, or other 'emotional' displays). It also has an extremely loud voice and in captivity is a capable mimic.
