I love the look on his face, am I just imagining the amused expression?!

Toos are actually one of the worst birds to have as companions, my sister has one that we rescued from a pet store with a bad rep, that bird was passes from one branch to the next until it ended up at the one we collected him from, he's 7 yrs old and was badly treated. the thing is with these birds they're completely emotional and can easily get demented, which is why so many of them are put down once past the age of 2 - 3 yrs if they aren't treated right. Sonny, my sister's Too seems to have a split personality where's he's lovely one minute and a devil the next and the avian specialist we took him to see said that he should be put down because all those years in that small cage *somewhere around 100 cm by 75 cm* and the moving around, constant prodding of customers at the pet store etc really spoiled his personality and he's a danger to her, and the other rescues we have. A real shame, I really hate pet stores, those poor creatures
I can't blame people for wanting cockatoos for pets, because they're so temptingly beautiful and clever, but I do wish there weren't so many kept caged up. It's sad, but it's also easy for me to say, they're everywhere here and I can enjoy them all the time, so it would be wrong for me to judge others who love them.
I just heard a sulfar crested screech outside lol...geez they're loud, I can't imagine that much noise in a house!
I'm glad you are rescuing the birds who've been mistreated, short of letting them live in their natural environment (which isn't an option if you're outside Australia ) it's the kindest thing anyone could do for them. Come to think of it, if they were raised in captivity, it's the ONLY option, isn't it?
lol yeah, Sonny is a complete nut
I'll post a pic up of him, whenever my sister chastises him, he ends up looking sorry for all of 2 grand minutes before he's back at whatever he was messing around with before. He LOVES fingers and toes, made my mother scream that last time he bit her, we keep telling her not to touch him and she keeps trying to because 'he's so beautiful and soft
Yeah, we're going to try and save up and move to an area where we can put all of them inside the aviaries. I've been keeping in touch with the local bird park who said that giving the birds to them after rehab is not an option since the birds who've had human interaction for a while get stolen to be sold on the black market
then one day there was a Palm Cockatoo (extremely rare, probably escaped from Zoo or something) sighted at a nearby forest and the store owner set a trap on the ground to catch it! I hated that store owner and never went back there. I doubt he ever caught the bird tho cuz he kept catching sparrows in his trap, LOL.
