Pictures Subspecies of Goffin's discovered

[iamwhoiam]

Tentatively named Cacatua goffiniana hyacinthum rostrum et pedum aka the blue beaked and blue footed Goffin's. This subspecies is uncommon with only one individual being identified at this time. At first it was thought to be closely related to Cacatua ophthalmica, the blue-eyed cockatoo, which has light blue eye rings but it is much more similar to the Goffin's except for the slight blue tint on the beak and feet.

This unique bird was first seen in the deep, dark jungles of Southern Kali Phornia by an alert bird watcher who heard its screams and then also got hit by flying objects that the bird was tossing down to the ground.

The hyacinthum rostrum et pedum made me do it.

I think you need to change that hyacinthum to multicolor since there are multiple color morphs of this subspecies and I suspect its actually very common although transient. Both of cockatoos have been multicolor at times.

Where is your proof of the existence of these multicolor cockatoos? Any new species or subspecies name will have to be checked against the rules as presented by the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature.

Its been a few years since either of mine have developed this transient pigmentation. I'll be sure to post pictures the next time I see it.
