Every species of cockatoo has it's own natural habitat, depending on the country where the species occurs. No species is alike, and even populations of the same species can live in slightly different habitats. The Australian cockatoo species generally live in very large groups and stay in the open field a lot, while the other species generally live in smaller groups and spend more time in the canopy.

The cockatoo species that are living Indonesia live in tropical or subtropical forests or on the edges of these forests. These species are for example the Umbrella Cockatoo and the Moluccan Cockatoo. Species from Australia are mostly seen in open fields and only use trees to nest and sleep in.


Food will be collected on the ground and in the trees. Nuts and seeds will be found on the ground, while fruit, leaves, buds and insects will be obtained from the trees. The Australian species of cockatoo are mainly depended on food they find on the ground. These Australian species also generally forage in large groups, so many cockatoos will watch out for the safety of the group while they are in a vulnerable position on the ground.
