1) Umbrella Cockatto (White Cockatoo)
학명 : Cacatua alba (Müller, PLS, 1776)
분류 : Psittaciformes/ Cacatuidae/ Cacatua
국내 유통명 : 흰관앵무, 우산유황앵무
Wikipedia 설명
The white cockatoo (Cacatua alba), also known as the umbrella cockatoo, is a medium-sized all-white cockatoo endemic to tropical rainforest on islands of Indonesia. When surprised, it extends a large and striking head crest, which has a semicircular shape (similar to an umbrella, hence the alternative name). The wings and tail have a pale yellow or lemon color which is exposed when they fly. It is similar to other species of white cockatoo such as yellow-crested cockatoo, sulphur-crested cockatoo, and salmon-crested cockatoo, all of which have yellow, orange or pink crest feathers instead of white.
Names
The white cockatoo is known as ayab (plural form: ayot) in the Burmeso language of Papua, Indonesia.[2]
............ Description 부분 생략 .......................
Distribution
Cacatua alba is endemic to lowland tropical rainforest on the Moluccan islands of Halmahera, Bacan, Ternate, Tidore, Kasiruta and Mandioli (Bacan group) in North Maluku, Indonesia.

2) Blue-fronted amazon
학명 : Amazona aestiva (Linnaeus, 1758)
분류 : Psittaciformes/ Psittacidae / Amazona
Common Names : blue-fronted amazon, blue-fronted parrot
국내 유통명 : 푸른이마아마존앵무 ; 청모자아마존앵무
Wikipedia 설명
The blue-fronted amazon (Amazona aestiva), also called the blue-fronted parrot, the turquoise-fronted amazon and the turquoise-fronted parrot, is a South American species of amazon parrot and one of the most common amazon parrots kept in captivity as a pet or companion parrot. Its common name is derived from the distinctive blue/turquoise marking on its head just above its beak.
Taxonomy
The blue-fronted amazon was one of the many species originally described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.[2] Its specific epithet is the feminine form of the Latin adjective aestivus, "of the summer".[3] Two subspecies are recognized:[4]
A. a. aestiva (nominate) is found in eastern Brazil.[5] The leading edge of the wing ("shoulder") is red.
A. a. xanthopteryx occurs from northern and eastern Bolivia through adjacent parts of Brazil, to Paraguay and northern Argentina. The "shoulder" is partly or wholly yellow.[5] Generally with more yellow to the head than nominate.[6]
The taxon xanthopteryx has been treated as a separate species,[7] but the two subspecies interbreed freely where they come into contact.
Additionally, there are significant individual variations in both facial pattern and amount of yellow/red to the "shoulder". In one extreme, individuals with essentially no yellow on the head and entirely green "shoulders" are known from north-western Argentina.[8]
Description
The blue-fronted amazon is a mainly green parrot about 38 cm (15 in) long. They have blue feathers on the forehead above the beak and yellow on the face and crown. Distribution of blue and yellow varies greatly among individuals. Unlike most other Amazona parrots, its beak is mostly black. There is no overt sexual dimorphism to the human eye, but analysis of the feathers using spectrometry, a method which allows the plumage to be seen as it would be by a parrot's tetrachromatic vision, shows clear differences between the plumage of the sexes.[9] Juveniles of parrots are duller and have dark irises.[10]

3) Blue-and-yellow macaw
학명 : Ara ararauna (Linnaeus, 1758)
분류 : Psittaciformes / Psittacidae / Ara
common Names : blue-and-yellow macaw, blue-and-gold macaw
국내 유통명 : 청황색마코앵무, 청금강앵무
Wikipedia 설명
The blue-and-yellow macaw (Ara ararauna), also known as the blue-and-gold macaw, is a large Neotropical parrot with a mostly blue dorsum, light yellow/orange venter, and gradient hues of green on top of its head. It is a member of the large group of neotropical parrots known as macaws. It inhabits forest (especially varzea, but also in open sections of terra firme or unflooded forest), woodland, and savannah of tropical Central and South America, as well as the island of Trinidad in the Caribbean. They are popular in aviculture because of their striking color, ability to talk, ready availability in the marketplace, and close bonding to humans. It is the most commonly kept macaw species in captivity worldwide as a pet or companion parrot and is also the cheapest among the large macaws. As of 2025, there are 1 million blue and gold macaws living in captivity worldwide, one of the highest populations of any large parrot in captivity, such is the popularity of this bird.
Taxonomy
The blue-and-yellow macaw was formally described by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758 in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae. He placed it with all the other parrots in the genus Psittacus and coined the binomial name Psittacus ararauna.[3] This macaw is now one of the eight extant species within the Ara genus, first proposed in 1799 by the French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède.[4][5] The genus name is from ará meaning "macaw" in the Tupi language of Brazil. The word is an onomatopoeia based on the sound of their call. The specific epithet ararauna comes from the Tupi Arára úna meaning "big dark parrot" for the hyacinth macaw.[6] The word ararauna had been used by the German naturalist Georg Marcgrave in 1648 in his Historia Naturalis Brasiliae.[7] The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.[5]
Description
These birds can reach a length of 81–91 cm (32–36 in) and weigh 1.0–1.5 kg (2–3 lb), making them some of the larger members of their family. They are vivid in appearance with bright aqua blue feathers on the top of their body, except for the head, which is lime colored. The bottom, however, is a rich, deep yellow/light orange. Their beak is black, as well as the feathers under their chin. Its feet are of a gray color, save for black talons. The bird has white skin, with its face having nearly no feathers besides a few black ones spaced apart from each other, forming a striped pattern around the eyes. The irises are pale light yellow.[citation needed]
Blue-and-yellow macaws can live from 30 to 35 years in the wild, and reach sexual maturity between the ages of 3 and 6 years.[8]
Little variation in plumage is seen across the range. Some birds have a more orange or "butterscotch" underside color, particularly on the breast. This was often seen in Trinidad birds and others of the Caribbean area. The blue-and-yellow macaw uses its powerful beak for breaking nutshells and for climbing up and hanging from trees.[8] As well as nuts, it will also feed on seeds, fruits, vegetable matter, bark, and leaves,[9] also (reportedly but rarely) insects and snails.[10]
