umbrella cockatoo pet - Topic profile

So, I was contacted (as were the other people on the mailing list) about an Umbrella Cockatoo in need of a new home. I responded mainly as a last resort, since I am not actively looking for another larger bird, or any other bird for that matter. I got a call from the owner of the bird and she explained to me the situation. The U2 is a male wild caught bird, which they have had since 1987. ...

I have recently been searching for a companion, and seeming how I will be finishing school in June, I figure that will be the ideal time to get one. I have had experience with smaller birds, such as 'tiels, GCC's and Budgies, but to be quite honest, I want something "larger." In search of my future companion, I have come across a certain breeder. She has for sale, an umbrella cockatoo, named ...

OMG, today i FINALLY got my mom to take me to the exotic bird store, i have been begging her to take me there for almost a year now!! And OMG was it awesome or what?!? It is a bird store this woman has owned for a while now, she takes in unwantd birds mostly. But, I got to see a Hyacinth Macaw!! I was squeeling like a little girl the whole time! They had 4 of them! The one was sitting on this...

This is a great thread! I think I have actually put more thought into my pet's names than my children's! My big dog a golden mix, is named Maggie, because I found her on the road. When I got her into the car, "Maggie May" was playing on the radio. My Chi is named Piggie, because when he was a tiny pup he looked like a little pink pig. My pekechi, is named Toby, I guess because I just liked the ...

Growing up my mom had a couple large pet birds, the first was an Umbrella Cockatoo. He was a good bird, extremely friendly but also very, very loud and demanding for attention. We kept him for a few years but ultimately found him a new home with somebody who had another one he could be friends with, because we simply couldn't give him the time and attention he wanted. He would sit on top of ...

I went to my first bird fair today and it was SO fun! Lots of sellers, tons of birds, toys, cages, etc. BRIANA(barefootaviary)....I was hoping you would be there today! A man was there selling linnies so I talked with him for awhile. His linnies were all older and didn't seem too tame but they were oh so cute! DD and I watched one lady handfeed tiels, budgies and lovebirds. We also pet ...

My friend who wanted the Cockatoo, that's who. Well, apparently she's visiting one. I've tried to sway her to something smaller and more manageable, but you wanna know what she says? "But I don't want a little bird! I want an Umbrella parrot!" In a sort of whiny voice. >.< I asked her if she was willing to get stitches because they DO bite. She said it's never bitten her before. I...
