Mine were all adults when they came to my home. Babette, my U2, actively chose me and she captured my heart. I soon found out that she hated almost all middle aged men and would outright attack them, leaving a 1-2” gash under their eye or check bone. I also had five kids under 11. She was very jealous of them and loved to chase them around tying to amputate their toes. Babette and the kids got older and they learned to love each other to the point where they were inseparable during the kids teen years. She traveled everywhere with them. Now most have their own families and she still remains my sweetheart. The other two Toos were shipped to me as adults. I’ve found that shipping offers a huge bonding opportunity
Because they’re looking for a friendly face and reassurance. I didn’t really experience the terrible Too phases with these three. I think it’s because they were adults when I got them. I don’t think I got lucky 3 times.

Isabelle is the femme fatal she is very much a girl,always a demure poised fluffing her Mutton chops like a feather fans covering her beak.

He is quite proud of it . Cock -o-the- walk strutting his stuff!
:dancing::pinklol2:

Gotta love ( what I call it) the cockatoo stomp -walk...
Like they are in slow motion type of walk... They must be thinking.. " yep I'm bad, best not get in my way now"
You know that walk....all it needs is the theme to JAWS playing in back ground and that would make for a scary too!
Lol!!!!!

Ha! Ha! Kinda like a pigeon toe stomp , lifting the feet high-up , body sways from side to side. Could be a new style of dance.
We could call it the Cockatoo monster mash!

Isabelle has been in rare form latley...I dunno if it's the change in weather or that she's reached her 5 years old mark.

She being extremely mischievous, not mean, just a more rambunctious girl ,still a sweetheart.
Just like a toddler getting into everything.

Bentley's always been a reserved perch potato.
He's never really got hormonal or anything else about the common complaints of our feathered friends...

One exception is that he's two faced & disingenuous .luring me in for a sweet talking kissy kiss then trys to nail my lips. :cautious:
:smilesign:
