Cacatua is a genus of cockatoos found from the Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Islands to Australia. They have a primarily white plumage (in some species tinged pinkish or yellow), an expressive crest, and a black (subgenus Cacatua) or pale (subgenus Licmetis) bill. Today, several species from this genus are considered threatened due to a combination of habitat loss and capture for the wild-bird trade, with the blue-eyed cockatoo considered vulnerable, Moluccan cockatoo, and umbrella cockatoo considered endangered, and the red-vented cockatoo and yellow-crested cockatoo considered critically endangered.
Taxonomy
Although the name Cacatua was used in 1760 by French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson, he did not include it in his table of genera and Brisson is not recognised as the authority by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN).{{cite journal |last=Allen | first=J.A. | author-link=Joel Asaph Allen | year=1910 | title=Collation of Brisson's genera of birds with those of Linnaeus |journal=Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History |volume=28 | pages=317–335 | hdl=2246/678 | url=http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/handle/2246/678}}{{cite journal| last1=Bock | first1=Walter J. | last2=Schodde | first2=Richard | year=1998 |title=Case 1647: Cacatua Vieillot, 1817 and Cacatuinae Gray, 1840 (Aves, Psittaciformes): proposed conservation | journal=Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature | volume=21 | pages=159–164 | doi=10.5962/bhl.part.175 | url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/12441535 | doi-access=free }} The genus Kakatoe was introduced by Georges Cuvier in 1801 but this name has been suppressed by the ICZN and instead Louis Pierre Vieillot is recognised as introducing the genus Cacatua in 1817.{{ cite journal | date=2000 | title=Opinion 1949: Cacatua Vieillot, 1817 and Cacatuinae Gray, 1840 (Aves, Psittaciformes): conserved | journal=Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature | volume=57 | issue=1 | pages=66–67 | url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/12439134 }}{{ cite book | last=Vieillot | first=Louis Pierre | author-link=Louis Pierre Vieillot | year=1817 | title=Nouveau dictionnaire d'histoire naturelle, appliquée aux arts, à l'agriculture, à l'économie rurale et domestique, à la médecine, etc. | edition=Nouvelle édition | volume=17 | location=Paris | publisher=Deterville | page=6 | doi=10.5962/bhl.title.20211 | language=French | url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/18054348 }} The type species was designated as the white cockatoo by Tommaso Salvadori in 1891.{{ cite book | last=Salvadori | first=Tommaso | author-link=Tommaso Salvadori | year=1891 | title=Catalogue of the Psittaci, or Parrots, in the collection of the British Museum | series=Catalogue of the Birds in the British Museum | volume=20 | location=London | publisher=British Museum | pages=115, 124 | url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/8382420 }}{{ cite book | editor-last1=Dickinson | editor-first1=E.C. | editor1-link=Edward C.
