Hello again!

It's been a long time since Dan and I have been around. Since December I think. We still have our sweet babies. Apollo :sun: and Max :gcc: . They are doing really well. They were hand-fed together and we have them in the same cage now. They seem to like it better that way. :D We'll see how that pans out when they come of age though.. we still have a second cage on stand-by. Dan and I are in the process of home buying (busy busy paperwork busy busy) and if everything goes well we're going to adopt a bird from a rescue called Wings Over the Rainbow (http://sites.google.com/site/wingsotr/). Maybe a :cockatoo: ? There are several...SEVERAL there, and all of the ones I've interacted with are so so sweet. One hopped off her cage and walked across the room to get to me. :D See you guys around..
Lindsay, :gcc: (Max) & :sun: (Apollo)

I love cockatoos...although you have to watch it. They are often known as the 'ADD' bird. They are best in a house where there is constant activity, a display bird at a petstore, or even in the waiting room for an avian vet. They need A LOT of attention...and if they don't get it, they express their frustration in other ways. Either by destroying things, biting, screaming, or plucking.

My sister-in-laws family use to have a Cockatoo. It was a family of 6, all of which are very familiar with how to raise and treat a bird. Anyway, it got to a point that the bird wasn't getting enough attention. It would bite, chase you to attack your feet, and scream a blue streak.

If you can give the cockatoo the attention it needs along with your two other parrots....they can be awesome feathered kids. Otherwise...?

Wild animals are called 'wild' for a reason. Keep them that way. Adopt your pets, or buy them from a certified breeder.
