It is the only species in the genus Probosciger and is one of the largest members of the cockatoo family. It is unique for its impressive crest of red or yellow feathers and its large beak, which is used to crack hard nuts and seeds. The bird is typically found in the forest, where it feeds on fruits, nuts and seeds. It is also known for its loud, repetitive call which can be heard from a distance of up to two kilometers.
