Hello, The single bird in the photograph is a little corella native to Australia and is not a Goffin's cockatoo which is native to the Tanimbar Islands in Indonesia. Goffin's (Cacatua goffini)have a circular symmetrical white periorbital skin. This bird has the typical grey, bulbous assymmetrical periorbital skin of the little corella. There are other differences but this is the most obvious. Hope this helps
