They're loud, take to one person and one person only, and have the mind of a three year old with the mouth of a sailor.

I thought fish were some work until my gf bought a small parrot for her mom. All kinds of do's and dont's.
Anyways, a regular at the lfs I worked at had a 40 year old Cockatoo that his inherited from his grandmother.

My sisters godfather adopted a female and she made it well known that she was his one and only. He would bring women over and she would attack them

I think that's common amoung a lot of parrots.

Besides the part that they're loud and have the mind of a three year old, the rest are not quite accurate. It's all depend on how you raise it. If they're around people, and you let them socialize with other people, they would do fine with being handle by different people. Cockatoo wasn't born with a mouth of a sailor. They're needy though...

Plucking is from boredom, or stress, not jealous.
