Cacatua alba
In 3 days <5%
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 wings and tail have a pale yellow or lemon color which is exposed 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.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White Cockatoo sighting in Manila on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 184th most-seen of the 191 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White Cockatoo in Manila on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Manila, in our data
Manila is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White Cockatoo sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Psittacidae
The closest relatives of the White Cockatoo that you can see in Manila (family Psittacidae, New World and African Parrots) are Philippine Hanging-Parrot (about 20%) and Rose-ringed Parakeet (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White Cockatoo is recorded against all the birds logged in Manila (8 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
