Description
Bare-eyed Cockatoos are roughly the same size and shape as the Goffin’s Cockatoo. They are entirely white or pinkish in color, except for the splash of orange near their beak. Just like the Goffin’s Cockatoo, they have a tiny little crest, resembling a shark’s fin, which stands up when they are surprised or excited. They get their name from the bare patch of blue skin around their eyes.
All Cockatoos have this bare area, but the skin is swollen on a Bare-eyed. To someone who has never seen this species before, they will appear to have an eye infection or a strange growth under their eyes. However, this is completely normal for a Bare-eyed Cockatoo and is nothing to worry about.
