The
Ducorps' Cockatoo, also known as Solomons Corella or Broad-crested
Corella, is a species of cockatoo endemic to the Solomon Islands. This
small white cockatoo is larger than the Tanimbar Corella yet smaller
than the Umbrella Cockatoo. The species is common across most of the
Solomons, absent only from Makira in the south. It inhabits lowland
rainforests, secondary forests, cleared areas and gardens. The Solomons
Cockatoo nests in tree cavities. The eggs are white and there are
usually two in a clutch. The eggs are incubated for about 25 days and
the chicks leave the nest about 62 days after hatching.
The northern common cuscus, also known as the grey cuscus, is a species of marsupial in the Phalangeridae family native to northern New Guinea and adjacent smaller islands, but is now also found in the Bismarck Archipelago, south-east and central Moluccas, the Solomons and Timor, where it is believed to have been introduced in prehistoric times.
Two species are not endanger species but appear on the stamps.
