- 2 umbrella Cockatoos One male named Cooper and female named Baby 1 Little Corella male named Frankie and have 5 Cockatiels three named Male named Pepper, Fiesco for the female and female named Wylie.
I need help finding a cage that will hold up to one one particular female U2 Cockatoo and her mate. Unfortunately she like to destroy cages. This is her 3rd cage since adopting her she destroyed. It is only her that like to destroy the cage Cooper my male U2 doesn't do this. The issue with her is that she came from people that kept her in a cage and never let her out with no toys in it. So she more likely develop this habit as a result from the previous neglect and being cage bound for years. Now she out all the time and usually only goes in the cage at night, but even then with all the toys and attention, she still like to strip the power coating off, remove bolts off the feeder doors and bend them and destroy the cage. She actually like this cage as sometimes don't want to come out in the morning and doesn't scream anymore. It just she like to figure stuff out and if she finds a weak spot and she goes for it.
Now I have worked most her behaviors issues and train her, but when it come to cages she do this early in the morning, or at night. When I see her she knows it is wrong as she goes right back up to her perch the times I caught her when she removed the bolts holding the feeder and was in the process of bending the top part. She is very smart and will wait it out. She doesn't do this to escape, she does this to figure out and play.
I need a cage that has powered coating that will hold up to her beak? Prevue cages she break the welds on those and power coating not as good as the Kings Cages.
My female U2 is starting to strip the power coating on a new Kings cage as well and this cage is only a month old? She rubs her beak on the bars.
Yes she does have penty of wood toys at least 3 big one and 4 other toys. This is just how she is as she destroyed two other cages as well.
