I don't know about other people's goffins but Elvis in general isn't a cuddler, not like other types of cockatoos I've seen (like Milton
@cassiesdad ). Elvis loves head scratches though. Usually from my fiancé but if he's not around Elvis figures scratches from me are better than none.
But only once in a great while does he actually try to snuggle- with the fiancé, of course, not me. So, you might not be missing out on cuddles anyway. Once Freddy adjusts more I bet he'll love to help you with housekeeping. LOL. Elvis has to participate now in whatever we do -- unless it's running the vacuum. That's a monster that's clearly going to eat him.
