Cockatoos love to eat a lot of things. They are herbivores, eating nuts and seeds most of the time. Peanuts and sunflower seeds are their top picks. Cockatoos also munch on fruits like durian, papaya, langsat, and rambutan.
Besides these, they have veggies in their meal, too. There is more! You may also see them chowing down on insects or insect larvae. So, we can say that cockatoos eat plants and small bugs, making them omnivorous birds.
