Cockatoos are one of the most long-lived parrots. Though not outstanding in their ability to imitate speech, they exhibit some of the most intelligent behaviors of the entire parrot family.

Many species are actually considered a pest in their native country, Australia, where they travel together in large flocks. Cereal growers are finding it difficult to keep them away from grain bags and fields where they would dig up newly sown seed. But as pesky as they are there, in the United States they are a favored valuable pet.

Because of their loving quailties and intelligence, Cockatoos have a very high need for attention, affection, and interaction. A single cockatoo will thrive as your pet only if you devote time and attention to it. However, two pet cockatoos can be ideal if you are not able to devote so much time and attention as the bird will demand. Bored cockatoos are notorious for developing bad habits such as screeching and feather plucking. Having two will help to prevent bad habits from developing by a bored bird.

Care and Feeding of a Cockatoo (for sale)

A cockatoo needs a well-constructed cage to not only prevent it from escaping but to prevent the bird from destroying it. A pet cockatoo will need a steady supply of appropriate items to chew and destroy. Cockatoos are more needy than other pet parrot species, and an owner should set boundaries early on otherwise the bird may scream for attention. A cockatoo that is new to the home should not be showered with nonstop attention, but rather with toys and other enrichment opportunities, as well as intermittent attention, so that the bird learns to entertain itself when the humans in its life are unable to provide one-on-one time.

Cockatoo food should be nutritious, but it should also contain foraging elements. Cockatoos are bright, lively, and fun-loving birds, and their meals should reflect that. They graze for seeds and nuts, as well as coconuts and cereal crops, throughout the day. Cockatoos, like all companion parrots, do not survive only on birdseed. Avi-Cakes, Pellet-Berries, Nutri-Berries, and Lafeber’s Premium Daily Diet Pellets are examples of cockatoo food that aren’t boring to eat.

Cockatoo Appearance and Behavior

The cockatoo is a medium- to large-sized parrot with a broad curved beak, small rounded eyes, and an elaborate head crest that it can raise and lower to communicate its mood to others. Cockatoos have a zygodactyl digital arrangement on their feet, which means that two of their toes point forward and two point backward. This enables them to hold branches tightly and climb trees with amazing precision. They can even climb with one foot while gripping food with the other.

When compared to parrots, most cockatoos have significantly less coloring. Because they lack the various textures found in other parrots, they are usually displayed in simple black and white colors. A few species, however, do appear in a variety of vivid and ornate colors, such as reds, blues, yellows, and greens.

The normal cockatoo for sale species can grow to be 12 to 24 inches long and weigh a few pounds — approximately the size of a table lamp. The big black or palm cockatoo is the largest species, reaching up to 30 inches in length.

Speech and Vocalizations

When it comes to talking, cockatoos aren’t as prolific as some of the other parrots, but they do have adequate speech talents. Cockatoos  are capable of mimicking practically any sound, even speech. Your efforts will determine the size of your bird’s vocabulary. The ability of a cockatoo to communicate is determined by its species and the amount of training it receives. The finest talkers in the family are galah, sulfur-crested, and long-billed cockatoos.

Cockatoo Diet

The cockatoos primary diet consists of fruits, nuts, seeds, and roots. If the cockatoos ever feel compelled to eat meat, then they will usually resort to the consumption of insects. Some cockatoos may specialize on a specific type of vegetation or opportunistically feed on whatever they can find. They can use their strong curved beak and big muscular tongue as a sort of improvised tool to crack open shells or dig up roots and insects from the ground.
