Moluccan Cockatoo
Cacatua moluccensis)

Moluccans would like nothing more than to be sewn to your body 24 hours a day. They crave attention and love, and can become obsessive because of this trait. #photography #cockatoo #birds #aves #indonesia #bonding

Include the history of Moluccans in the history books used in Dutch schools. Antis Marijanan and Augustinus Tuparia are committed to this. "It is a shared and painful history." Moluccans supported the Dutch regime in the East Indies and had to flee the country after its independence. #Dutch #indie

Painting by Quirijn Maurits Rudolph Ver Huell as exhibited in the Arnhems Museum. The painting depicts a violent effort to suppress an uprising of the Moluccans in the island of Saparua Indonesia against their Dutch colonizers.

That's a Moluccan Cockatoo. Pretty weird it's been placed near an owl.

At the parrot shelter where I volunteered the Moluccans were a challenging species, hard to find appropriate homes for. High intelligence and difficult vocals/strong bird. Some committed 'parronts' do manage it and love them.

There's a cockatoo rescue/sanctuary that I can't remember the name of, but they have aviaries for each species. Some of the interesting data they've gathered is the amount of personal space each species tends to prefer. I think most want between about .5-2 ft, but Moluccans want *none*.

And most Dutch people don't even know half the social issues that people experience here. Hell I didn't even know for the longest time until I looked more into what happened post WW2 with the Moluccans who got displaced and were nationless for decades after the Dutch waged a war in Indonesia. 🫠

Absolutely beautiful! Maybe some cockatoos might work too (moluccans come to mind)?

The second was the hijacking of a Dutch train by Moluccans in 1977.

the median age in oegstgeest is probably 77 so everyone i know in town is approximately 77, which means i sometimes spend my sundays having a nice low cholesterol lunch, going to their ceramics exhibitions, and hearing about growing up in the 50s and 60s in the limburg camp for moluccans

Looks pretty certain that Rob Jetten will apologise to the Moluccan exiles who fought with the Dutch in the Indonesian war of independence in the 1940s. Their hopes of a republic were dashed, they were dismissed from the army and housed in former concentration camps. www.dutchnews.nl/2026/06/jett...

Definitely an umbrella cockatoo. I've always loved the Moluccans with their peach crest & under-feathers.

What was presented as temporary relocation became a permanent life in limbo: discharged soldiers, segregated housing, broken promises, and a return that never came.

That explains it. Moluccans I've been around have tended to have extra big personalities, in addition to their size.

It's heartbreaking that the attractiveness of parrots to humans is part of the reason they are so endangered.
It is hard to meet their needs in homes, even for those who love them.
