cockatoo

I have a bird, Wacko, she's a 32 year old Triton cockatoo. We have had her for 17 years. We have had to have her fostered a couple of times (as briefly as possible) due to instability in living situation. Now we are having to move again and have nowhere to go, as you may know trying to be in...

Some disturbing visuals when the wildlife trade is shown, but worth a watch. Synopsis... The Indonesian Parrot Project (IPP) has been conducting important conservation work to save parrots and cockatoos from extinction in Indonesia. The film shows the history and current work of IPP, the...

Hi all, I’ve had my rosebreasted cockatoo Mochi for a year and she’s around a year and a half old. Today, I noticed the rings around her eyes were a little pink towards the front (her right eye ring more so) and her right eye ring looked a little bigger than normal. I’m going to wait a day to...

Hi! i hv a 6 month old cockatoo, who had moved in with us just yesterday! Currently we’re trying to create a bond with him as he isn’t as trusting as when we had our 3 years old cockatoo(named Yuki) when he was 1.. we’ve been giving him his seeds that the pet store gave him and we’re also...

The guy who bought Blizzard reached out to me! I posted an ad on Kijiji saying that I want to get in contact with the person who bought him to make sure he's in a good home, and he reached out! From the little conversation we had, I can tell that he's in good hands. The buyer has a macaw, and...

Hi, I’m new!!! I have already posted a few things about my new baby budgie Stevie. I’m from Queensland, Australia where budgies are of course native to..(not in my area but used to live where there were wild flocks). We have many beautiful birds in Australia and I am also lucky to have them...

I would have thought the basic behaviour of birds teaching their young to forage (among other things) would be an example of social learning, but this specific example made headlines. Scientists have documented examples of social learning in birds, and the spread of a trick to open trash bins...

Hello! I'm Dayna, and I've just adopted a family friend's cockatoo, a beautiful 3 year old named Charlee. They did not have enough time to give her the attention and affection that she needs, which has had a horrible impact on her, the poor girl, and since I'm a regular babysitting that has a...

I quite enjoyed this read... https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/07/05/where-did-that-cockatoo-come-from

saw these birds at work.

So Iv got a female umbrella cockatoo had her since 2011/2012 she came from a bird rescue in iowa, was told she was 15 at the time and her hatch day was on Halloween. Well after some research not sure how accurate it is tho but her leg band could mean she’s a bit older than what originally told...

Hey everyone, I’m currently in search of a galah breeder. Hoping you guys can give me your best recommendations. I’m located in NY but I’d be willing to travel. Everything I’ve come across online seems kinda sketchy and I’d prefer not to purchase from my local bird store. Thanks!

Hii so here is a little background.. Yuki the cockatoo is 3 years old this year. We’ve had him since he was 1 years old. We have no idea what happened to him in that 1 year but he’s afraid of literally everything; he’s afraid to take a bath, to go out, etc. However i am gradually trying to take...

Hi everyone! This forum was recommended to me as a possible place to find a forever home for a wonderful bird. I want to start out by giving a little background on myself. I grew up with an umbrella cockatoo and have a giant soft spot for these birds. I’m an animal lover and primarily involved...

Is this a normal dropping? We rescued a goffins cockatoo 6 months ago. We got her switched to a pellet and chop diet, this is her second poop that’s more white and runny like this. Should I be worried?

I know that most breeders are in Australia but I've heard that Australia doesn't allow bird exports/imports.

Hi, i need an advice on description below! My cockatoo is 3 years old this year. Recently, he started “freaking out”, flying crazily out of a sudden. It happened 3 times, the aftermath of the first is as shown in the attach image where his legs are folded inwards and stood that way. I saw an...

Hey there! I’m watching a sulphur crested cockatoo for a few days and I’m worried she might be over preening, is there any way to help prevent this?

Hello, guys. I was doing some research on all the different types of bird species, and I stumbled across a "Critron Cockatoo". I was wondering if anyone here has one, or know what they're like.
