Lava Richards - 2013-01-11 I have just bought a cockatoo, yet I am concerned about his feathers, they are in terrible shape mostly his tail and around the edges .. is there something I should be doing for him.. I'm waiting on an appointment with a bird guy. So I figured I'd ask you all.. plus it sounds like he grinds his beak ::( Click For Replies (1)

Darren - 2012-12-10 Just four days ago my family and I became companions to a mollucan Cockatoo named Jamie and he is approximately 30 years old. His owner was unable to give him the required attention any longer and she reluctantly needed to find him a loving home. He had been plucking out his feathers and generally misbehaving so I eagerly took him in. He is doing well but he is slightly nervous with me, although I am able to hand feed him he is not willing to allow me to touch him yet. Last night while spending some time w/ him my wife approached the cage and to our surprisese he came out of his cage and was extremely affectionatete w/ her, allowing her to pet him, hold his back, and even climb onto her arm. I will admit that I am a bit jealous but very happy to see Jamie in such a happy state. Does anyone have some advice on how to teach him to accept me and the rest of my family or has chosens his person? Click For Replies (4)

Wendy Miller - 2012-12-08 I was hoping that u could recommend an in-depth book on cockatoo behaviors/psychology-I have a 5-month lessor sulphur-crested cockatoo and when I play with him-he loves to play 'gonna get ya' He runs away on the floor and I play chase him-then he will turn around and runs at me-laughing because that's what I do, anyway this is a game that we have played for about 1 month and my concern is that when he gets older is this going to be a bad thing that I have started-a couple of times when he was playing this with my 16 year old-I noticed that he was more aggressive than he is with me. As he matures could this potentially become even more of a problem. He loves this game but I am concerned! Can someone give me some insight into this? Thank You! Click For Replies (2)

reaperess67 - 2012-12-06 I have just rescued a mollucan cockatoo - had her about a month and a half. She's wonderful. A little loud sometimes. We've been working on trust issues. She now comes on my arm frequently if I go to her cage, not all the time, but most. Then she rests on my chest and just wants me to pet her and talk to her. Tonight she was a little weird, so I figured she just needed more talk and contact and she started rocking back and forth while laying on me. Next thing I know, she laid an egg on me. I know absolutely nothing on birds, and was wondering if this is normal? I also will be going on vacation for 6 days over christmas. My brother in law will be staying here to take care of her. Should that be sufficient for her? Any comments are greatly appreciated. Click For Replies (1)

We just got another one (4month old) we have two large cages so they can see each other. Do you think they will get along? The 5 year old is a male. Can two birds of the same sex get along together?

samantha ochs - 2012-08-22 PLEASE HELP!!! I recently purchased an '8' year old citron cockatoo. And lets just say this bird hates me..I'm not being dramatic one bit..I have always adored all animals and wanted a bird since i was very little..So Kacey is my first bird..I've done all my research and I just don't understand what the problem is. Any male can go to Kacey, stranger or not, and pick him up, cuddle him, pet and touch him anywhere..He isn't bothered by any of it...which i've seen that birds are either partial to males or females? Don't know how true this i but i can understand that..But whats strange to me is Kacey has had a few different owners recently which were all homes with a husband and wife and children. But they all just said the women didn't really mess with him much..BUT the kicker is, his first and longest owner was a woman, who he apparently lived with for '10' years or so until she passed away...I just don't get why he would suddenly hate women? He will step up on my arm and sit with me but wont let me touch him with my free hand...but a total stranger, as long as its a man, can do whatever he wants to him..he will even lash out at me when I just quietly walk by his cage and he's sitting on top...Please give me your opinions on what i should do...I've tried sitting quietly just one on one but he wont come around...if he doesn't stop the lashing out i'll have t find him new home..

linus chung - 2012-09-26 I have a young blue and gold and have fallen in love with keeping big parrots. Recently I found a white cockatoo in a friend's neighbour's house...it has no feather on his chest and back. The head feather is beautiful and complete...how do I tell if the bird is just feather plucking or if the bird is having a medical condition of the skin. The owner is willing to give me the bird, not wanting it anymore but I do not want to bring home any contagious disease to my blue and gold. Click For Replies (1)

| Animal Story on Goffin Cockatoo List Animal Stories on Goffin Cockatoo More info at Animal-World | ||
Nikki - 2012-09-15 I was recently given a Goffin's Cockatoo by a co-worker. She was hatched in April of 2007, so I guess that makes her just over 5 years old. So far she is like having a small child. She enjoys spending time on my lap while I watch television, and she will scream until I go to the cage to pick her up. I have two cockatiels as well that I was given a month prior to adopting my cockatoo. My cockatoo has started crouching down on my hand while I am holding her, and she will try to sit on my hand. The only time I see her do it is when she is on my hand. I am not sure I know what she is doing, but I have a pretty good idea. Is she trying to mate with my hand? Click For Replies (2)
