Well the exciting news...dna tests came back and opal is a girl! I am very excited because i have heard female cockatoos are a bit more pleasant?
either way..i'm excited to have found out!
Ok, now on to the bad...i know i am new here and i hope i am not offending anyone...but from what i have read you are all very supportive of each other and are not afraid to be bluntly honest..
that being said, i was emailing a friend who moved to california, his mom use to run and set up bird fairs and expos here in PA. We email occasionally and i was telling him how excited i was about my newest addition and this is what i got back:
u are a jack a**. why don't you ask me about this ? like lol i'm an animal guy . again u are a jacka**. You're gonna get the cockatoo and there's nothing I can say. I've given you my suggestion of a caique and that's all I can do. no point in telling you that cockatoos are horrible pets unless you live in the room and never leave that room because as soon as the thing is lonely your neighbors are gonna be calling the police on you for noise complaints. oh and how your ears will be bleeding from the sound. no point in telling you that you cannot train them not to make that awful ear piercing noise, no point in telling you that that bird will outlive you and annoy you for the entirety of it and probably move on to torture your kids for the duration of their lives until someone sells/give the thing away . it's cool. i'll still stay your friend, i'll make sure to stay your friends so I can can say 25 years from now "so.. hows ur buddy doing?" sarcastically, and you'll automatically know who i'm talking about. i'll be referring to the Devil Bird. the Devil Bird that you haven't bought yet. sorry.. I can only pray for you now...cockatoos are pretty but are only for old def people and people with enough money to buy a separate house miles away from their house for that bird cause it's so loud.
now to be fair he is always a bit negative, but he does have a lot of bird experience so i'm a little concerned now...
And for those who don't know...i do live in a suburban area, my closest neighbor is about a large bus length away and the others a bit farther.
They know i have 2 birds, one with an ear piercing beep that was almost constant when she came home and no one was negative about it...i know they call in the morning and evening, but can't they learn to be indepentant and not all out terrors??? I do work from home and i make sure my birds don't keep a strict routine...but they do have open cage and are out and about when i am up and home.
Thanks and sorry!!!!
