This seems really random, but you mentioned your siblings... can I ask how old you are? Is this bird solely meant to be yours? If you are still living at home and are in high school or college, where do you see yourself in 20 years? If you move into an apartment will the bird come with you? Sorry for the 20 questions I just feel some concerns about the situation plus the small children.

Thanks.. I worry about our furry and feathery friends :) Just realize that cockatoos are LOUD and a college student will probably be in an apartment... most neighbors aren't going to want the jungle serenade in their building!

Yeah i understand your concern, and I've expecrienced having to take consideration when buying a place because of our cat when we moved so of course it will be something that i need to take on board as well.
