You will often hear a heartfelt “I love you” just before you discover the decimation of your computer keyboard. They learn almost immediately what they need to do to get our approval, and they use it. Highly Destructive.Ĭockatoos are highly intelligent parrots with a seemingly innate understanding of manipulation.

Like their larger cockatoo cousins, they need specific handling in order to thrive in captivity. It is the beginning of a cycle that is difficult to manage.Įven the comparatively small and demure Goffin's cockatoo can pack a wallop with unwanted behaviors when things are allowed to get out of hand. It becomes unwilling to function independently the minute you step away, it screams. When you pair that bird with an owner who is all too happy to hold the bird around the clock, then the result is a bird that is ONLY happy when plastered to the chest of its owner. In fact, they CRAVE your physical attention and would do nothing else but cuddle all day if given the opportunity. The cockatoo, particularly the white ones, might well be their own worst enemies. Furthermore, as cockatoos never do anything in a small way, when things go wrong, they go very wrong. For that reason they are the ones most often relinquished to rescues and sanctuaries when things go wrong. However, the cockatoo is arguably the most complicated and challenging of the many parrot species. Along with their stunning appearance, they are a very interactive species both emotionally and physically: traits that make them endearing. Cockatoos are a very popular choice as companions for many new bird lovers.
