A little while ago there was a discussion about "Pink" sulphur-crested cockatoos

Over the last few weeks, I have been watching approximately 20 cockatoos who help themselves to the grain used for feeding livestock

Some of the ones that immerse themselves in the bags in the shed have a dirty tone to their feathers but when in the light it does look pink

This could be why the odd pink one is seen
