Any and all info would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Wow, lucky you. Where are you starting in terms of you education about parrots and living with them? What type of home life did your bird have before coming to you? What are some desirable and undesirable things your bird is doing since it's been home with you?

Welcome Gary and Gizmo! Congratulations, it's not every day you have a cockatoo move into your home. How can we help? There's a mountain of info available about parrot care in general and a wealth of wisdom about living with cockatoos. If you could be a little more specific about where you'd like to start, vet care, cage set up, diet, training, toys, play stands....?

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Welcome, what a rare treat! A mature cockatoo presents unique challenges and the potential for incredible rewards! Looking forward to learning more of the circumstances, your familiarity with parrots, and sharing helpful advice!

Hello, and welcome. You have found the right place, as you're already seeing! I'm so glad you're here. We'd love to hear more (and see more... we love photos/videos)... about your bird's life and times.
