I am a big strapping male who is absolutely handsome. I have a beautiful crest which when asked I will gladly display. This is one of my many tricks I have been training to do. I also wave by raising my foot and wiggling my toes which makes my foster mom laugh in delight. I have been taught turn around, show wings, flap, kiss, and show crest. I also know the down command, go poop, get in there (cage), and fly to cage. I love toys especially anything that I can shred or destroy like wood toys. I managed to almost completely destroy a large macaw size wooden toy in a matter of a week. None of the other birds in my foster home can say that. I am learning to like the food my foster family makes and have started testing out mash and other fun veggies and fruits. My Harrison's pellets will always be my favorite however.

I have the cutest voice especially when I say cockatoo. I also say Hi, how are you, I love you, Uh-huh, Oy, Kvetch. I can be a bit noisy when I can't see you but if you work from home and need a quiet buddy I am it. I will sit in your office observing everything you do. I have some fear so taking things slow is preferred. I do not like brooms, vacuum cleaners and strange men. I am also not all that keen on barking dogs but have no shown aggression towards them. As far as other birds, I get jealous pretty easily in my current foster home but they have a lot of cockatoos like me. I would probably do well in a home with less birds and a quieter environment. I am harnessed trained to go on outside excursions once I feel safe with my new family.

As with most cockatoos I am not a bird who should be cuddled as I tend to get hormonal and can't figure out how to control my emotions. I will look for dark holes to nest in so I will need to be monitored when out on a play stand. I need someone who is an experience bird owner who is familiar with male cockatoos and can provide me with the training and boundaries that I need. I will be your best buddy though as I was in my former home.
