Cockatoo

[Red Devil]

I have a umbrella cockatoo..she plucks her feathers and does not eat very well.. try and get your new bird to eat as many different types of seeds and fresh fruit.. I adopted mine about 18 years ago and once their personality pluses or minuses set in it is very hard to change them..honestly the more attention they get the more they want.. so if you commit always commit.. because they do not do well if they need to be rehomed..i have been trying to undo the past mistakes of previous owner to no avail ..but she is loveable and sweet inbetween her screaming demands..my African gray tells her to be quiet and she screams louder..they are so smart.. they know all the tricks and use them//best of luck

Conure or condor? I'm really hoping this isn't a typo.

It isn't.

It isn't.

So you're just going to say you kept a bird with a 10' wingspan and leave us hanging?

 

[krichardson]

It really was nothing special.

Pictures? How did you acquire it? This is worse than oddball.

Oddball seems like he leaves a picture of a two foot pleco that weighs 15 lbs then awnsers one out of one hundred questions about it.

Where exactly did you acquire it? What'd you keep it in?

seems to be plucking has 2 causes, mostly from boredom. and once developed it is not break able unless put into an aviary, other is decease, not . common. if your bird is plucking already. adding a toys every other day, interacting 3 or so hours a day. and larger cage may help, but does not look good. again not from experience but from reading and my inlaws keep parrots and have for years.

Makes me think of the condor that I had years ago.

dude...you had a condor? lol what other crazy arse pets did you own? Arent those things, full grown, one of the more massive birds on the planet?

birds home, was a well tamed bird, rescue perhaps wrong word, showing no bad habbits, EI plucking, seems to like females of the house more than males, was doing the sexy whistle on the ride home and chattering. now just scoping out the house.

I've never seen an ill-tempered cockatoo in my times in pet stores and the like.
