The Solomons Cockatoo (Cacatua ducorpsii), also known as the Ducorps's Cockatoo, Solomons Corella or Broad-Crested Corella, is a species of Cockatoo endemic to the Solomon Islands archipelago. This small white cockatoo is larger than the Tanimbar Corella yet smaller than the Umbrella Cockatoo. Interestingly, They are the only breed of cockatoos in their area, which helps them thrive and breed without much interference. Thanks to the relative remoteness of their habitat, they suffer no threats and are a species of least concern. They thrive in a variety of areas, most of which are dense forests, secondary growth, and local sparse woodland.
