I changed trays and had to adapt something for Ancient Pete to straddle at my feet. He’s in great shape now. When I get up, he chases me down. If I don’t distract him, or move quickly, he’ll bite my feet.

These two adorable looking guys need a special place. Sunshine is no longer tame and runs after other cockatoos and anyone else he can in their area. He loves Romeo. Romeo is tame, lets you pet and hasn't threatened to bite even snatched up, but won't step up. At least not for me.

The two have established a balance of power between them. At first I thought Sunshine was bullying him. Now I've seen Romeo return the favor and let Sunshine know he won't put up with it.

An adopter must be able to accept them for who they are and give them the freedom to be themselves. I say this because there is no guarantee you will have a close and cuddly relationship with either, however it is possible with training and TLC.

They need a perch system where they can hang together or get away from each other and things to chew up. If you are to establish a relationship with them it will need to be adapted accordingly so you can isolate and work them separately.

You cannot have other cockatoos or smaller birds in the same area as them. Sunshine will attack and Romeo will provide some backup.

Only fee for Romeo. No additional fee for Sunshine.

Lily is a sweet 16 year old sulphur crested. Her dad passed and mom isn’t able to keep taking care of her. Things are a bit too shocking at the moment and she just wanted a quiet place, so I put her in the spare room.

She’s used to around the clock freedom, parents to share love with, dogs to argue with, but a mellow environment. She has food, tons of toys, a cage, fancy playstand…. And of course prefers to destroy cardboard.

Her feather loss looks to be from stress earlier in life. She’s going won’t recover her body feathers. She can and does fly, and is in good health.

Romeo is 38-40. Single owner since he was 9 months old. Life changes around him over recent months led to feather destruction. He needs a manicure and lots of cuddles. He’s super timid and sweet.

Why are these two adorable babies still here? Apply and follow through! Both are young and need lots of stimulation/ handling and places to fly to.

D**k & Sara wanted to play outside. I couldn’t convince Nana to follow. She preferred to flock call instead.

I somehow managed not to photograph three toos: Peaches, Paulie, and Pebbles. Also missed Dexter and Claude. Big Bird did a lot of posing. It’s her fault I took all these.

Sarge stepped up and randomly visited with Dr. Hilvert, the vet who helped her when she was egg bound earlier this year. Sarge even gave her kisses.

Claude has even been mouthing my fingers lately. His self control has vastly improved.
