It is actually a Norwegian Blue. An easy mistake for a Historian to make, they are not trained Biologists after all.

This this what happens when you allow Liberal Arts people to make press statements.

A few commentators have pointed out that there are cockatoos throughout far south east asia that look similar to a sulphur crested cockatoo but with a white crest. These would have been known since the 1500's or before with the Dutch and Portuguese spice traders.

Ten years' work to come up with that cock-up? Fair dinkum! How much can a Koala bear?

At least the original version of Michelangelo Last Supper was funny.
