7. Palm Cockatoo – $16,000
This parrot can be identified by its black or smoky gray color and the visible red spot on its head. Its large crest makes it one of the most unique animals in the world.
Plus, its large bill makes it one of the parrot species that have large bills.
The Palm Cockatoo is also known as the Goliath Cockatoo or Great Black Cockatoo, originally from New Guinea and far north Queensland, Australia.
Fact about the species! The male has a larger beak than the female. Both male and females have a distinctive red cheek patch that changes color when the bird is alarmed or excited.
Just like cats and dogs, the Palm Cockatoo has a large and complex vocal repertoire, including many whistles and even a “hello” call.
