Moluccan Cockatoo (Cacatua moluccensis)
Observations
The picture of this cockatoo was taken on 17 September 2011 while attending the Wildlife Conservation Festival at the John Heinz National Refuge Center in Philadelphia, PA. When I initially encountered the bird it had just arrived at the festival with its owners. The bird was perched on the shoulder of the gentleman in the picture and was calm. After a minute or so the bird became uncomfortable. It began to ruffle its feathers. In response, the owner spoke softly, gently placed his hand around the bird and cradled it until it became calm again.
