LENKA - 2007-11-24 Hi again, from Lenka and Dinosaurous. I think that I am so lucky because I seem to fall more in love with my little Dino everyday! He is such an angel and I can't imagine not having him. He plays all the time. He talks all the time. He sings and dances when he gets in the mood (to party). I keep looking into new toys for him to destroy and satisfy his urge to constantly chew. He seems to be very happy. Right now though, we are going through a stage where he likes to try and stick food into his wing feathers (unsuccessfully, hahah), though putting them through some damage! (They don't look their best now). Once in a while he manages to stick a (food) pellet in his baby feathers, though. I always find it when I snuggle him before sleep, and I laugh at him and tell him he's so funny. It's almost like he understands. Anyway, my love for him will never end, he is my real angel!
Hailee - 2007-09-01 I used to have a Goffin Cockatoo named Tequila. He was a great pet and was really smart. He loved to sing and dance and was very affectionate. He would give me kisses all the time and would always answer when I talked to him. I think he knew a lot more words than he would actually say because once in a while when I was in the other room I would hear him say things that he's never said before. Unfortunately, he died about a year ago when he was only nine years old. I don't know what was wrong with him. His death was really sudden. I wasn't home at the time, but my dad said he just fell off of his perch. My dad picked him up when he fell off and Tequila died while my dad held him. He died really young but at least he had a peaceful death.
steph - 2007-04-13 i think i have a goffin but some i know seems to think its a bare eyed corella. i have asked at a parrot breeders and he looked at him and said he believed it to be a goffin. i aquired peppy from my mum who couldn't get on with him. hes quite destructive to the wallpaper and is recently jealous of my grandaughter. he won't go to anyone except my husband but still hisses at him. he does come down if we are eating and waits for titbits but wont come directly to you. i have considered selling him due to the jealousy as it becomes quite trying.
Brown Family - 2007-03-15 Ritz, our goffins cockatoo is a little sweet pea. He's only loud at play time and when he wants a shower. He loves his showers. We can't imagine not having this little bundle of sunshine in our family. You need to have a lot of time with this kind of bird though. I am a stay at home Mom and let him stay out of cage most of the day. He only goes in his cage at bedtime and when I am not in the same room,otherwise you'll come back to chewed furniture. =O)
LENKA - 2007-02-21 This is an update on my 4 year old Dinosaurous! He is still quite the character. Lately he got into a huge chewing mood and I am going through wood toys like crazy, but somehow I think that I have a compulsive obbsesive personality on my hands and this period will pass again much like his previous habits. Have had cage bail-outs, millet stage, plush toy stage, wing feather distraction stage, climbing on the curtains stage, and many more that I can't recall right now. I am embarrased to say, but his favorite toy is a new wrapped tampax! So, from time to time when I am taking a bath, I bring Dino in the bathroom and give him his very own tampon to destroy. He is sooo funny with it, because of its many layers and textures he loves to peel off the soft paper, then he loves the cardbord applicator, and when he gets to the string... he starts throwing it around on the mat. It's absolutely hilarious! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
dana - 2007-01-27 I am proudly owned by 4 birds. Yellow-nape amazon, goffin cockatoo, african grey timneh. They are like my children. I got "Jericho" (his middle name is Houdini,...and for good reasons LOL) almost 2 years ago. He is almost 3 now. He was the 2nd parrot I purchased. I can't imagine life without him. I can't tell you how many times I came home (before I got his cage to where he couldn't escape) and found him waiting at the door saying "Whatcha doin?" when I open the front door. Of course being concerned for his safety I had to find a way to keep him in his cage when I was gone. He is a clown,..he chases my son around the living room. He has related that when my son gets off of the carpet and steps on tile he is safe and will wait for him to get back on the carpet. He plays simon says with my son when my son says simon says flap your wings,...Jericho will flap his wings and say " I did it,..I'm a pretty birdie" He is nothing less than an angel. :) My hubby whom isn't a bird lover has grown so attached to Jericho. Jericho rides the motorcycle at low speeds. My hubby told him one day after they rode "Jericho you're the man." It went to Jericho's head. I brought him inside and the other birds were all talking. All of a sudden Jericho blurted out "Shut up didn't you know I'm the man!" He is very good talker and puts sentences together himself! I LOVE him so much! I love them all but have grown quite attached to him myself! :)
Amy - 2006-12-10 I have never laughed so hard in my life as I do when Too-too, aka Tootsie is on the floor playing. Yep, she tosses things, rolls on her back and looks like she is lifting weights (her toys) and dances, prances, and shows off any way she can. WHAT a comical little bird. Wouldn't trade her for the world.
Gloria - 2006-08-05 hello I HAVE GOFFIN COCKATOO, A FRIEND OF MY SON'S GAVE IT TO ME BECAUSE SHE WAS SO LOUD BUT MAYBE BECAUSE I spend time with her she acts different. I have more birds like a lady gouldian, shaft tail, canaries, parakeet, and pomeranian dogs (3 beautiful girls). the name of my goffin is "LOLA' and she is beatiful, but I am looking for a male for her. I think this is what she needs now because the other birdshave babies and maybe she observes this from the rest and shes not acting ok. I need to look for a male for her "lola". thank you, gloria
Mandee and Bee - 2006-07-18 I have a wild caught rescue Goffins named Beeker, there are a few things you left out on here. They are little locksmiths, and with rescues and wild caught Goffins, threy require they same amount of space and attention as a child.
RECI - 2006-07-11 OUR GOFFIN'S NAME IS "COOKIE". SHE'S THE SWEETEST! WE PURCHASED HER FROM A BREEDER AT 4MONTHS OLD. MY TWO BOYS, AGES 6 AND 7 LOVE HER. SHE IS VERY GENTLE WITH THEM. AT TIMES SHE WILL NIP A LITTLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE'S NOT READY TO BE HANDLED RIGHT AWAY. WE PRETTY MUCH GOTTEN HER OUT OF THAT HABIT. SHE'S SO FUNNY!!! SHE LOVES TO BE CUDDLED UNDER MY CHIN AND LOVES PLAYING IN THE SPRINKLER WITH THE BOYS. TOO FUNNY!!!!
The Goffin's Cockatoo are known to be clowns, and are extremely playful!
