Talk about a glow up 朗朗朗 Since 2017, San Antonio Zoo has been the only AZA facility to successfully breed palm cockatoos, both by hand and parent rearing. They're just one of the many incredible animals we are helping secure a future for through participation in AZA Species Survival Plan programs! | San Antonio Zoo | Facebook

Where do palm cockatoos nest? 🪺 Palm cockatoos on Queensland’s Cape York Peninsula nest in old-growth trees, which are sadly in decline. The Palm Cockatoo Breeding Habitat Restoration project by People For Wildlife has been awarded the $20,000 Bronze Tier Award at the 2025 Australian Geographic Awards for Nature. By working with rangers and ecologists, it aims to double the number of viable nest hollows and secure breeding success for one of Australia’s most extraordinary birds. #ausgeo #austra

🥁 This magnificent palm cockatoo doesn't just sing, he drums to impress! And impressed we are. Palm cockatoos are found mainly in the rainforests and savanna woodlands of Queensland’s Cape York Peninsula. 😎 Watch this male perform a legendary courtship display, pounding on hollow tree trunks and finishing with a perfect stick toss! Why the sticks? To build the foundation of the nest, so eggs and babies are safe from heavy rain. He's got rhythm AND he's building a home, what a keeper! 🖤 Thanks
