I recently bought a umbrella cockatoo a week ago from a petstore, however the day I went to pick him/her up they told me they wanted to keep him for another week or so. I was pretty upset considering they told me I could come pick him up in the first place. He was hatched in May, so my question is.. are they giving me a run around or does he really need that much longer to be handfed?
I've done some research about how it can take a long time to ween. At this point I can certainly do this, I've done it for a bare eyed cockatoo and had no problems handfeeding and weening him, but if the pet store does not allow me to do this, what am I to do?
i just want my cockatoo! I've gone into the petstore twice now and had them get him out for me and spend some time with him there, but I have things setup for him at home and I'm ready to have him home.
