So I'm a new Cockatoo owner. She's settled in and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed! Now she's a great bird, I would never consider rehoming her! I just need some advice on how to better manage her!
Our currant routine is as follows: I get up and take children to school. I give Skye a bowl of oatmeal or egg for breakfast to eat while I'm gone dropping kids off. I get home 45 min later and let her out of her cage.
She wants me to hold her the entire day. I have a hard time doing housework. Is there things that other Cockatoo Owners can let their fids do to entertain theirselves? She has a play gym but she won't leave my side to get on it unless she is hungry!!
Is there things you use or do to occupy their time? Or do you enteract with you 'too the entire day?? I've even considered getting a second bird to help occupy her time! But I don't want her to stop being close to us! Has anyone experience with that?
Please any help will be appreciated!! C ss
