The phylogenetic tree shows the monophyletic clade of cockatoo species in Indonesia. The results indicate that the average of intraspecific of COI in the cockatoos community was 0.25☐.055 persen, and interspecific divergences ranged from 3.1 to 11.6 persen. sulphurea (n=2)= 0.3 persen, with a range of 0-0.6 persen. galerita (Indonesia n=53)= 0.3 persen, C. The result of the genetic variation of the cockatoo species which shows intraspecific divergence was Cacatua alba (n=4)= 0 persen, C.

The phylogenetic analysis used the neighbor-joining method, in which the genetic distance matrix calculations with Kimura 2-parameter models that are implemented on a pairwise distance calculation in the MEGA program version 6:05. We used the COI gene sequences from 68 individuals of cockatoos from pet communities in and around Jakarta and four sequences from GenBank. The objective of this study was to evaluate the reliability and effectivity of evaluation technique of morphometric and molecular for reintroduction programme of cockatoos.

The examination of sex and species of illegal cocktoos play as a key role for the reintroduction programme. All of pets which have been kept by community should be evaluated from various aspects before being reintroduced to their natural habitat. Thus, many people want to keep those birds as pets.

* Please note: If you do opt for a pelleted diet, please be aware that overly feeding citrus fruits (including oranges) to your birds can lead to “ Iron Overload Disease.There are six species of cockatoos in Indonesia which are well known as exotic, smart, and they can be trained in a variety of attractions. You are much better off providing a good quality (preferably organic) seed mix and fresh fruits and veggies - just as nature intended! Many breeders recommend feeding pellets*, I personally don’t like the processed nature of them additionally, I don’t know of a pellet that doesn’t contain harmful chemicals, whether it is preservative or artificial coloring / flavoring. In nature, they benefit from a diverse diet that includes seeds, fruit and insects.Ĭaptive cockatoos should be fed a good quality parrot seed mix, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. Like other cockatoos, the Triton Cockatoo usually makes its home in tree hollows.

Cockatoos naturally produce a powder down and baths along with a portable air purifier will keep this to a minimum. Large wooden perches are recommended instead of pvc pipe perches.įrequent bathing is recommended to keep their feathers snow white. Make sure the door has a secure lock as they can be escape artists.

They adore being held and petted and will often raise their wings to be scratched.Ī large Cockatoo cage is in order for Tritons. Tritons can learn to talk but the real charm is their affectionate nature. They are vocal birds that will call in the morning and evening, and are not recommended as pets for apartment dwellers. Wooden toys and natural limbs are recommended to keep them happy.Ĭockatoos are very animated birds and can be taught to do tricks which are quite amusing. Typical to most Cockatoos, Tritons love to chew. Triton Cockatoos make excellent pets and owning one involves a life long commitment as they are long lived. They are large birds totaling 18 inches in length. Tritons are a sub-species of the Greater Sulpher Crested Cockatoo ( Cacatua galerita galerita), found in Australia and is considered an agricultural pest in its natural habitat. The Triton Cockatoos are magnificent parrots that are native to New Guinea.
