Hey, working for myself successfully and with plans to stay here(Tenerife) I want to expand my flock by 1. I am very interested in either a Senegal Parrot or a Cape Parrot, or Meyers Parrot (Only problem could be that they make my lovebird sound off.) So are cockatoos really that hard to look after? I've seen countless youtube videos with all the owners of cockatoos saying "Don't get one." Where I live here in Tenerife, the animal care is ****e. All birds caged up, all dogs on a leash and left out in the sun for ever. Animals don't have rights here yet, I figure a cockatoo is going to be better with me than anywhere else on the island anyway. But what would I be in for? My birds are currently out almost all of the time. Lovebird away during meal times, and both away when I go out and at night. Non of them make any noise or put up a fuss, when put back in their cage (Lovebird gets covered over if he makes noise and he likes his view, and both birds get their main meals in their cage so subsequently like being in it.) Would this not be the case with a Cockatoo? Do they need to be out ALL the time? Are they excessively noisy? Any special Avian Veterinary needs for the cockatoo? as that also is not great here
Thanks,
Harry.
