Hi!

[Jcos6702]

Hello everyone! I'm Jim. I have a Goffin Cockatoo named Eli. Eli is 9 years old. My wife at the time wanted a bird and since I had birds growing up I thought it would be a good idea to have a bird again as well. Unfortunately for my ex wife he bonded to me..lol and we have been best buds ever since. He has gotten me through some tough times the past few years. I look forward to reading everyone's experiences, stories and tips!

Hi Jim & welcome. I look forward to your stories as well. Please share some pix of Eli.

Be well,
Tami

Welcome to the forums, Jim and Eli. Goffins are my absolute favorite parrot species. I have 5, one sitting on my lap at this moment!

I'll share a link to a prior thread history of my love for these small cockatoos with outsized personalities! http://www.parrotforums.com/incredi...ries-bird-lovers/65252-my-goffins-family.html

They are almost as easy in flocks as individual companions. Very capable of very close bonding to humans and enjoying time alone or with other Goffins.
