The Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo, Leadbeater's Cockatoo or Pink CockatooLophochroa leadbeateri is an Australian bird with a wide range of arid sites internal to the country (see range map). It is named in honor of Sir Major Mitchell, who wrote "Few birds more enliven the monotonous hues of the Australian forest than this beautiful species whose pink-colored red wings and flowing crest might have embellished the air of a more voluptuous region"* *Wickipedia.
