Do Major Mitchell’s Cockatoos drink every day? These Cockatoos visit watering places usually twice daily, very early morning and late afternoon.


Major Mitchell’s have that very special mechanism for finding water and will travel many kilometres to drink. They very seldom drink from rivers, they like small dams, water troughs or house tanks. During very hot weather they may visit their water base several times each day.


Do Major Mitchell’s Cockatoos bath? Major Mitchell’s are always lovely and white in all weather yet after 60 years studying them I have never seen one bath. The Council of The Parrot Society UK

sincerely hopes that the above notes, which obviously took Ray some considerable time to compose, help the school children of Australia to make every success of this new venture. We will continue to monitor this exciting new development that will - we hope - do much to increase the status of the rare indigenous Australian Cockatoos.
