The present-day yellow-crested cockatoo lives in coastal rainforests. It has white feathers. It also has a short beak that allows it to eat seeds and weighs twelve ounces. The first picture shows a cockatoo in a native tree. The futuristic yellow-crested cockatoo, which now has an orange crest, has adapted to climate change, which caused its home to become a marsh and increase the temperature of the area. This cockatoo has a carnivorous diet of fish that live in the surrounding marshes. The cockatoo’s beak is longer to catch fish, and it has adapted to conserve less body heat than in the present day by losing three ounces. The feathers have changed coloring to attract mates easily. The second picture shows a cockatoo that is in a tree, with leaves that have adapted to large amounts of sunlight, above part of the warm marsh it lives in.
