Wow. How rare! A lutino!

We have quite a unique new resident we would like to introduce you to! 💛

Meet "Tweety" the albino Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoo. Tweety came to Bonorong after being found beside a road as a juvenile. When Tweety first arrived she was very underweight and it was clear that she had been alone for some time. 😥

As a social species of bird, Tweety should have still been with her parents and their flock at her age. We suspect that, because of her albinism, she had been rejected by her flock. 💔

Too young to fend for herself, Tweety had clearly been struggling to survive and was very lucky that someone had found her when they did. 🚑

Our team have raised her over the last few months, working hard to step into the role of her parents. With the right care, the team have successfully helped Tweety grow into a healthy young cockatoo. 🥰

As a result of this process, Tweety has become humanised and bonded to her carers. It is unlikely she would ever be accepted by her kind if she were to return to the wild - a sad fate for a social species. For these reasons, Tweety will remain at Bonorong as a resident, where her safety is ensured. 🐥

Tweety will begin to spend time on display in the coming weeks as we introduce her to our existing resident birds who will hopefully provide the social interaction that she is looking for. If you spot her in the Sanctuary make sure to say hello! 😃

Here is the deal want a deal. Dont come to me. Want to get birds cheap then go to an auction or wait until big box stores discount birds that have sat in a cage for 9 months. Private breeders charge more because they put time effort good food and disease testing into their flock
