Most Expensive Pets In The World

 Palm Cockatoo – $16,000

The Palm Cockatoo also known as the Goliath Cockatoo, is a large smoky-grey or black parrot of the cockatoo family. It is the only member in subfamily and the only member of the monotypic genus, Probosciger. Its unique position within the cockatoo family has been confirmed by molecular studies. The price of this palm cockatoo is generally $16,000.
The Palm Cockatoo was originally described in 1788 by German naturalist Gmelin. It is the earliest offshoot from the ancestors of what have become the cockatoo families. The Palm Cockatoo is 55–60 cm (22–24 in) in length and weighs 910–1,200 g. It is a unique bird with a large crest and has one of the largest bills of any parrots. The Palm Cockatoo also has a unique red cheek patch that changes color when the bird is excited or alarmed.

                      Hyacinth Macaw – $14,000

Hyacinth Macaw is a native to central and eastern South America. It is the largest macaw and the largest flying parrot in the world, though the flightless Kakapo of New Zealand can outweigh it at up to 3.5 kg. In terms of length it is larger than any other kinds of parrot. Its popularity as pets has taken a heavy toll on their population in the wild.
They have a very strong beak for eating their natural foods, which include the kernel of hard nuts and seeds. Their strong beaks are even able to crack coconuts, the large brazil nut pods and macadamia nuts. In addition, they eat fruits and other vegetables. Pine nuts are also one of the most popular foods for Hyacinth Macaw. A Hyacinth Macaw’s price is $14,000.
