Bottled birds: How callous smugglers cram cockatoos into plastic bottles to get them through customs
More than 24 critically endangered cockatoos were rescued by police after being found stuffed in water bottles for illegal trade.
Smugglers crammed the Yellow-crested cockatoos into empty bottles so they could get through customs at Port of Tanjung Perak in Surabaya, Indonesia.
But Indonesian Police discovered the birds, which can be sold for as much as £650 each, and cut them free so they could receive medical attention.
The Yellow-crested cockatoo was listed as a critically endangered species by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources in 2007.
The population is at a critical low due to deforestation and poaching and recent studies suggest there may be less than 7,000 individuals remaining.
More than 10,000 parrots, including Lories and Cockatoos, are caught from the wild in North Halmahera, Indonesia, each year to supply the domestic and the international illegal wildlife trade.
Around 40 per cent of birds die during the illegal smuggling process.
So for every 1,000 parrots caught from the wild, 400 birds died in vain, during the poaching, transportation and trade, due to poor conditions and cruel handling.
Most parrots are prohibited from international commercial trade unless they are captive bred or permitted by the exporting country.
Yellow-crested cockatoos also breed very slowly and lay eggs only once a year. They can produce only two eggs at a time.
Illegal trapping continues in many areas including Rawa Aopa Watumohai National Park, Buton and Kadatua Islands, but has reportedly been reduced significantly on Sumba.
Large-scale logging and conversion of forest to agriculture across its range has exacerbated the decline, and the use of pesticides is a further potential threat.
The white birds can range in size from 12 inch to about 27inch in length and present a beau

Performing Parrots Take A Bow
Julie and Ed Cardoza's brood is a talented bunch - capably doing everything from roller skating and skateboarding to bowling and basketball.
And if you were to call them featherbrained, well, they probably wouldn't take any offence.
For the couple from San Jose in California raise and train performing parrots.
According to the Cardozas, teaching their feathered friends tricks enriches their lives because they enjoy the attention and activity.
Parrots can become depressed and socially deprived if not given a lot of time and attention.
So, the Cardozas appeal to their birds' needs by teaching them both natural and trained behaviours.
One of their stars is Harlequin Macaw Zac, who was hatched in 1988 and hand fed from the age of 10 weeks by Ed and Julie.
Zac is a hybrid Macaw, the product of a Blue and Gold Macaw crossed with a Green Wing Macaw.
He is also a brainy bird with a wide repertoire of tricks, including riding a bike and scooter, skateboarding, raising a flag and rolling over.
In addition he speaks over 100 words/phrases.
In his time Zac has performed over 5,000 shows as well as appearing on the Tonight Show and Animal Planet's Pet Star.
According to Julie Zac loves all food but he can't be spoiled too much or he won't eat his vegetables.
Forrest is a Green Wing Macaw hatched in 1990 and raised by the Cardozas from the age of four months.
Easy going and friendly, his tricks include roller skating and playing the shell game
Forrest loves to go through the drive-thru and would always order a fruit parfait if only he could say the word.
Slender Billed Cockatoo Piper's species is native to Eastern Australia and are very rare in the United States.
Piper was hatched in 2006 and she has been raised by the Cardozas since she was thre...

Performing Parrots Take A Bow
Julie and Ed Cardoza's brood is a talented bunch - capably doing everything from roller skating and skateboarding to bowling and basketball.
And if you were to call them featherbrained, well, they probably wouldn't take any offence.
For the couple from San Jose in California raise and train performing parrots.
According to the Cardozas, teaching their feathered friends tricks enriches their lives because they enjoy the attention and activity.
Parrots can become depressed and socially deprived if not given a lot of time and attention.
So, the Cardozas appeal to their birds' needs by teaching them both natural and trained behaviours.
One of their stars is Harlequin Macaw Zac, who was hatched in 1988 and hand fed from the age of 10 weeks by Ed and Julie.
Zac is a hybrid Macaw, the product of a Blue and Gold Macaw crossed with a Green Wing Macaw.
He is also a brainy bird with a wide repertoire of tricks, including riding a bike and scooter, skateboarding, raising a flag and rolling over.
In addition he speaks over 100 words/phrases.
In his time Zac has performed over 5,000 shows as well as appearing on the Tonight Show and Animal Planet's Pet Star.
According to Julie Zac loves all food but he can't be spoiled too much or he won't eat his vegetables.
Forrest is a Green Wing Macaw hatched in 1990 and raised by the Cardozas from the age of four months.
Easy going and friendly, his tricks include roller skating and playing the shell game
Forrest loves to go through the drive-thru and would always order a fruit parfait if only he could say the word.
Slender Billed Cockatoo Piper's species is native to Eastern Australia and are very rare in the United States.
Piper was hatched in 2006 and she has been raised by the Cardozas since she was thre...
