13yr. old male umbrella cockatoo,
we call him Amigo!
7yr. old Goffin cockatoo, she IS Sassy!!
I left for town today, gone for a couple hours and coming down the dirt road to our place I could hear a cockatoo yell, I knew it was Amigo, but had never heard him so far from home.
I rolled down my window and started calling back to him. He was several hundred yards from home, and followed me in. My husband said that when I took off, so did Amigo. Tim was afraid that this bird would continue to follow me but thankfully didn't go as far as he could have.
My husband walked up the road to try and coax Amigo back but he wouldn't budge. He waited for my return and Tim said that Amigo called out almost the whole time I was gone.
This is a first, I think I might have to lock him up when I leave.
