I'm not getting one anytime soon or in the next few years but was wondering what made the better pet, Lesser Sulfur Crested, Citron or Major Mitchell?

Honestly I'd have to say non of those make a good pet, cockatoos are one of the hardest of parrots to keep emotionally stable and mentally healthy. They can also deliver some of the worst bites.

I understand they are all difficult hence I went with a Amazon. I find cockatoos to be so beautiful and while galahs are adorable, I like the ones with the crests.

Galahs also have crests.

Galahs are cute, I have seen them in person, very cuddly.

I guess when I was a kid I had a stuffed animal of a sulfur crested so I have always been partial to them. I still have the thirty something year old toy.

Actually a galah would be a good size playmate for Mango but there is no guarantee they would like each other.

I can't wait till ours comes home 😄

I've always been amazed by the big white 'toos... But I'd steer clear of owning any of them

Out of those three you've mentioned I would say the Lesser Sulphur Crested to be the better pick! My Dixie is a Lesser Sulphur Crested and she's the sweetest bird ever! Just do understand what everyone else says is true about Cockatoos as they're not just a bird for anyone to handle, they can be problematic. IF you do ever decide to get a Lesser Sulphur Crested, just make sure you care for it right as they're a critically endangered specie. IF I must one day, I would give Dixie up to them for the purpose of breeding to preserve their specie. I love her enough to know that's the best thing to do for their specie.
