The pink cockatoo (Lophochroa leadbeateri), also known as Major Mitchell's cockatoo, is a visually striking bird native to Australia, renowned for its beautiful pink and white plumage and vibrant crest. This species faces endangerment primarily due to habitat loss and fragmentation, driven by agricultural expansion, land clearing, and the degradation of their natural environments such as woodlands and forests. Additionally, the pink cockatoo is threatened by competition with other bird species for nesting sites and food resources, as well as by illegal trapping and trading due to its popularity in the pet trade. Climate change further exacerbates their plight by altering their habitat and food availability.

Conservation efforts are crucial to protect their habitats, regulate trade, and implement breeding programs to ensure the survival of this stunning and emblematic bird.
