I am definitely not getting an umbrella or moluccan. I was thinking about a goffin, because of size and I heard they're a bit more independent (not that I'd spend any less time with it).
I was just wondering if goffins were as prone to destructive behavior as larger cockatoos because the site (mytoos) seems to be aimed at umbrellas and moluccans.
Also, it seems that a cockatoo can become self-mutilating even with a good owner. Is this true? If so, how often does it happen and is there any 100% "cure" (doubt there is...)? Is there anything I can prevent stuff like this happening (besides good diet, attention, cage)?
Thanks!
