Gorgeous bird!

I l-o-v-e your bird.

Ah, yes. Some parents think 1 year of the terrible twos are bad. Our home had a wall that the bird had put an Oreo Teether Toy through in a fit of rage when he found out it was nothing but plastic! He was actually hopping up & down on top of his cage making the whole cage bounce up & down off the floor. I tossed out the oreo toy immediately. LOL!!

I have a girl bird that you can have I just have to convince my husband that it is a great idea maybe I can fold her up in some fabric and no one will no and I can get a stuffed bird...

LOL! Used to raise parakeets & cockatiels. When sold home traveled with 4 birds. Cockatoo, B&G macaw, Greenwing macaw & blue crowned conure. Greenwing went into first season started dangerous mayhem inside the motorhome, B&G rehomed. Greenwing became eggbound & died at Vets & conure got outside & was lost. My cockatoo likes being an only bird. He's pampered & spoiled rotton. My feathered kid. No more females. I miss my baby to this day. She was my comic relief & a real heart full.

Oh so sorry she is gone. gracie is a one person bird only loves my husband unless she is hungry the she pretends to like me she is an african grey with the yellow crown. Very loud. My son keeps asking to get rid of her to get mackaw. (he is 5 cracks me up I believe the macaw is louder :) I am not sure if you saw the first shrek where the girl sings and blows up the bird my son keeps telling me if I sing that song then gracie will blow up and we can get another bird.

I have a red-factor canary who sings to me while I sew. We enjoy our Tweety!

I think you should put him on your Avatar, with his favorite sewing notion.

LOL! My husband has always wanted an African Grey. Yes, macaws can be very loud. So can cockatoos. Every once in a while I threaten to buy a birdy muzzle. LOL!! He talks so much that we can't have a conversation or hear tv. He's scared to death of anything that flies (even houseflies) & he will deafen us in the motorhome if we don't kill it & get it out of here. That jungle scream reverberates in here.

Oh yes I am very familiar with the cockatoo scream. Charlie (my moms) has one that sounds like she is saying "I'm a wreck, I'm a wreck, I'm a wreck" then after screeching that she says "baaaad bird, baaad bird". She is so funny but yes that screech can be ear peircing. She does it mostly when she wants attention. But a sweeter and more loving bird you will never know. Loves to be held and snuggles her head into your shoulder and lifts up her wing so you put your hand under it and hug her. Here is her picture taken in my mom's backyard in Vegas.
