Summary edit

Description
English: The White Cockatoo (Cacatua alba), also known as the Umbrella Cockatoo, is a medium-sized all white cockatoo endemic to tropical rainforest on islands of Indonesia. When surprised, it extends a large and striking head crest, which has a semicircular shape (similar to an umbrella, hence the alternative name). The undersides of the wings and tail have a pale yellow or lemon color which flashes when they fly. It is similar to other species of white cockatoo such as Yellow-Crested Cockatoo, Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo, and Salmon-Crested Cockatoo, all of which have yellow, orange or pink crest feathers instead of white.[1]

Ninoy Aquino Parks & Wildlife Center[2] (NAPWC) is a 64.58-hectare (159.6-acre) zoological and botanical garden located in Diliman,[3] Quezon City,[4] the Philippines. It was named after Benigno S. "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr.[5] The Ninoy Aquino Parks & Wildlife Center has a lagoon, an aquarium, a playground, botanical garden and a Wildlife Rescue Center, which the Department of Environment and Natural Resources [6] uses as a temporary shelter where confiscated, retrieved, donated, sick, abandoned, and injured wild animals are placed to be taken care of. The park houses several indigenous plants and animals such as crab-eating macaques,[7]water monitors[8], Philippine deer, [9] binturongs,[10]

Palawan bearded pigs[11] and several varieties of birds.[12] [13]
