I just want to reinforce that with the two fires your macaws were in they very likely have some damage to their lungs and airsacs. Adding a cockatoo to the mix might just tip one or both over the edge.
One year when I was traveling in my motorhome with Hank and Jasper, I put a pork chop into the microwave to thaw. I inadvertently put it on 100% instead of 10%, I went outside to set up the barbeque and looked around after a few minutes and smoke was boiling out of the door. I got them out and into the fresh air within 4-5 minutes, but it was too late. Their lungs and airsacs were damaged and no amount of vet bills can fix that. I kick myself to this day about that and the damage has caused problems with both birds.
The birds are the ones that would suffer - not you.
