Yellow-Crested Abbott's Cockatoo

(Jakarta, Indonesia) Feared extinct, the yellow-crested Abbott's cockatoo isn't.

Ten Yellow-crested Abbott's cockatoos were found on the Masalembu archipelago off Java island, the Indonesian Cockatoo Conservation group told AFP.

"We were excited when we found them in residential areas on Masakambing island," researcher Dudi Nandika said.

The group included four breeding pairs and two juveniles.

Despite the discovery the Yellow-crested Abbott's cockatoo (Cacatua sulphurea abbotti) remains the rarest species of the bird on earth, he said.

It hasn't been seen since scientists observed a group of five in 1999, researcher Dwi Agustina said.

Found in residential areas, eh? Scientists probably couldn't find any of them since "who looks in the back yard?"
