More than 24 critically endangered cockatoos were rescued by police after being found stuffed in water bottles for illegal trade

Smugglers had crammed the Yellow-crested cockatoos into empty bottles so they could get through customs at Port of Tanjung Perak in Surabaya, Indonesia
The Yellow-crested cockatoo was listed as a critically endangered species by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources in 2007

Indonesian Police discovered the birds, which can be sold for as much as £650 each, and cut them free so they could receive medical attention
The population is at a critical low due to deforestation and poaching and recent studies suggest there may be less than 7,000 individuals remaining
Most parrots are prohibited from international commercial trade unless they are captive bred or permitted by the exporting country
Yellow-crested cockatoos also breed very slowly and lay eggs only once a year. They can produce only two eggs at a time
