Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

'Vulnerable' though not yet 'endangered': It's the salmon-crested cockatoo, a native of Southeast Asia. As with most vulnerable species, habitat loss is the chief threat, but another factor is also at work: international trade in exotic birds. Although the crest is not showing, you can catch a wisp of salmon on the back of his head. [2013]
