Goffins Cockatoo Therapy Needed

[ferretspy]

So I recently found out that my father had sold our family bird, a 9-year-old Goffins Cockatoo named Blizzard. Without getting into the personal details, due to my father not telling me before he sold Blizzard, I didn't get to say good-bye or hold him one last time.
Can my fellow Goffin parents reply with pictures of their babies or funny stories? I'm really missing him, and I don't know if I'll ever see him again.

I am so sorry. That's heart breaking. So, my goffin Elvis is obsessed with playing catch with socks. We do it every morning and night. I throw it and he flies after it, sometimes catching it in the air. If I throw it on the floor, he will fly and land on it and slide on it across the floor. He also loves to open all the cupboards in the kitchen. If he feels I am not paying adequate attention to him. He will throw the spice jars out of the cupboard to get my attention. Once, he somehow managed to unscrew the lid of a bottle of vanilla and flew across the kitchen with it, dumping vanilla everywhere. The only upside was, the entire kitchen smelled like cookies and I didn't have to actually bake any.

Here's my little monkey:

Sweden my Goffin loves to 'escape' and free her roommate Solomon the Amazon. Then when I come in and catch her, she hops around my feet, feathers afluff as if saying haha, look what I did.

She's a exhibitionist, and here she is showing it all.

I don't personally have a Goffins, but I am making one for a custom pen order. Not quite finished or fully assembled, but I love her little happy face!

My heart breaks for you and for Blizzard. I wish you could get him back somehow.
