Merry Christmas everyone! This morning after breakfast Lucy and I made some toys and here are the fruits of my labor! She is very happily foraging and enjoying some shredables! :white1: Hope all of you have a wonderful day!

I took her outside today and we took a few pics just thought I'd share :white1:

I am new here but my reason for joining was due to this issue. Lucy my 6 year old Umbrella thinks I am hers and only HERS. She adores me ADORES me... to the point that no matter what I do she lifts her tail, quivers, does the uncomfortable heavy breathing and has even regurged for me (the...

Hey all! Roxy (6 month old) is doing fine playing,preening, eating and drinking. There is no unhealthy sings! But when I noticed her droppings today just now I got worried! I'm going to travel in few days and I really hope I can squeeze a vet appointment tomorrow! She is eating colored fruit...

I'd love to connect with any other black 'too owners that happen to live on these boards! Although I work with two RTBs, I didn't have them from a young age, and they're not really 'mine'. They play with me, they love and snuggle and kiss me, but they spend their time at work, and I go home to...

Okay so, i had Roxy (5 month old U2) since a week now. *sorry i don't know how to rotate the image here :white1:* I've noticed; 1- she sneezes 2-3 times a day. 2- she put her claws on her neck and opens her mouth wide, she does that often. 3- she thinks my fingers are chew toys, how...

Hello there, First of all i would like to inform that i have done my research about cockatoos and I've seen a lot of videos, and forums explaining the life with a cockatoo. so i can say i know what I'm getting myself into (i hope, lol.) <3 lets start about myself Im a 21...

I've had Loki, an older Goffin's cockatoo, for about a month now. He loves to play with toys and chew on things, loves treats, and loves head/neck scratches. He does not step up, ever, for anybody. When I let him out of his cage he sits on top and plays quietly by himself and will come over for...

Hello there! I've had several birds, but never cockatoos, and I just went with my mother-in-law to buy her first bird. Tiki is a stunning, wonderful, 13 year old Umbrella cockatoo. I wouldn't normally advocate for a large parrot as a first-time bird, but she's in her 50s and they took so well...

My bird absolutely detests cell phones, iPods, and things if the sort. I've tried to get her used to them, I've put them near her cage. She's seen me use them before but she just won't stop attacking them and the people using them! HELP!

Hello all! So Loki (Goffin's cockatoo) and Mango (sun conure) are finally here with in San Diego! It's been about two weeks and it's already been a crazy ride. Amongst the weirdest of the behaviors I've noticed is that every two or three nights, Loki will start screaming every 10 seconds or so...

I can't get her to go back into her cage. I have to force her. Help!

So I recently bought a bare-eyed cockatoo from an elderly couple who said she was agressive. I realized she wasn't agressive and that they just didn't know how to handle and keep her entertained but every time I let her out of her cage she only wants to cuddle. I was hoping shed get bored and...

Hi everyone, I have never joined and or posted on these forums before, but I thought it would give it a try for some honest input. A little background information about myself, I grew up with an umbrella cockatoo since I was 8. Out of everyone in my family she liked my dad and me best. She...

I just wanted to see if anyone has been having similar issues to me. I have a female 1 year and 4 month old Corella cross Galah cockatoo, she's been handled from a young age and for months she was sweet and calm, but over the last few months she's been a real horror, she'll bite your fingers...

Very long story short, I recently inherited two birds, a Goffin's cockatoo and a sun conure. They are currently located on the East Coast, and I live on the West Coast. I am planning on traveling by air with them either as carry-ons, or with them in cargo. Either way, my question stands: WHERE...

Hi all: While we are not ready for a new flock member just yet, we are starting to think about our next parrot(s). I thought I would come here and ask advice. This will be a long post, so please bear with me. We have had some experience with birds, through my veterinary practice ( it was...

Long screaming Sulphur Crested Story. Skip to the bottom if you dont want to read the essay below :P I've had Freddy for about 12-13 months. he was brought to my avian vet as a "lost" bird. I had brought my quaker in to the vet shortly after Freddy arrived and they told me it had been...
