My cockatoo playing today :)

Postby StBernard » Mon May 23, 2011 9:05 am

Some pics of my cockatoo playing today. I've taught her to 'get' things...so I throw something for her, as you would a dog, and she runs after it and shouts at it, throws it up in the air and generally just puts it in a lot of trouble haha.

She is such a funny bird, such a personality. I love her to bits :) Most of the pics were blurry as she was running around and playing so fast, but I managed ot get a few that aren't too bad.

Such a goof ball!

One of my dreams is to be able to cuddle a large cockatoo.

The owner of the store where I got my birds has two, and they are SUCH snuggle-bugs. Loving on a 'too is one of the finer pleasures in life. :)

Umbrellas are so wild when they fluff out like that. Reminds of cartoons when a character is holding a bomb and it goes off, minus the black soot afterwards. Very nice pics.

Haha thanks for the comments everyone :)

She is a real sweetheart, and very very quiet...not at al like the screaming ball of fluff U2's have the reputation of being. She does make me laugh with her antics...and yep, definitely a cuddle monster. she falls asleep in my arms, and in my bed too! Loves being under the duvet. She is crackers!

They are super birds if you want something hilarious, ridiculous, affectionate and smart :)

Very cute! I wish I had the time for a cockatoo, they always make me laugh when I see them at pet stores. They have such an enthusiasm for life!
