The nosy cockatoo is a large parrot with a very long beak that lives in Australia. The bird uses its beak to dig up roots, bulbs, and seeds from the ground.
The nosed cockatoo differs from other cockatoos by its very long and narrow beak, which helps it forage for food underground. These birds are important for nature because they disperse plant seeds and control the population of some insects.
