What age do cockatoo reach full size

Postby Pricey_boy » Wed Nov 07, 2012 8:11 pm

Recently I've been to environmental parks and pet shops and I've noticed that other long billed corollas are a lot bigger than my corella bandit he's about a year old now and I was just wanting to know if they get bigger within age

No, they typically reach full size by weening. You may have seen a different species of Corella (some are bigger than others). Individuals within a species or subspecies will vary as well.

I think some birds still add some size as they age.My caiqies used to be so much alike it was hard to tell them apart.But now my male has grown in size and is alot bigger :D
