Goffin Cockatoo for Sale

 

Adorable Goffin Cockatoo for Sale,Goffin’s Cockatoos have an odd habit of carrying objects on their backs or flipping them over their heads. They will jump straight up and down and like dancing. Acrobatic tricks are frequently second nature to them. Goffin’s Cockatoos are smaller cockatoos that are white with pink tints on the breast and in front of the eyes. They are one of the more talkative cockatoos. It is simple to teach them various tricks. Cockatoos in general are a very affectionate bird that requires a lot of attention from its owners. Only get a cockatoo if you have enough of time to devote to it.

 

Care and feeding of Goffin Cockatoos

Unless the bird is to be allowed out for extended periods of time, a cage of at least 20″ x 20″ is required. Many birds will spend the majority of their time in a play pen or on a parrot perch. They eat seeds, nuts, fruits, commercial pellets, and the same nutritional foods that people do. Because Goffin Cockatoos can develop fatty tumors known as lipomas, they should be fed a less oily diet (sunflower seeds and other oily seeds) than other cockatoos.

 

Goffin Cockatoo Social Behaviors

Some species may flock in groups of only 8-10 birds, but others may swarm in flocks of thousands. This high socializing requirement has a significant impact on cockatoo behavior. They can rapidly become bored if they do not receive the required attention and interaction. A bored cockatoo will frequently develop unpleasant habits such as shouting and feather plucking, which are exceedingly difficult to break.
Here are some tips for providing the greatest environment and encouraging healthy cockatoo behavior:

Keeping Single Cockatoo
Intelligent and highly inquisitive, coupled with a great need for companionship, shapes the cockatoo behavior. Goffin Cockatoos are constantly active and always up for playing and interacting with a friend. Keeping a single cockatoo will take serious commitment of time and attention from you for your pet to thrive. Each day you will need to spend a good deal of time playing with your cockatoo and sharing affections.

Keeping a Pair of Cockatoos
Cockatoos are best kept in pairs due to their urge to mingle. They also get along well with another bird their size for company. The key reason for pairing is to prevent them from being overly reliant on their keeper and their keeper’s time.
The disadvantage of keeping a pair is that the noise will be significantly higher. Goffin Cockatoos enjoy playing and will do so all day, but part of their game includes loud calls, which may sometimes escalate into protracted earsplitting shrieks.

Cockatoos and Children
Never leave cockatoos unattended with babies or small children! Cockatoos can get very jealous of babies and small children. The child could get attacked by the cockatoo’s beak or sharp claws so you should always be on your guard. Goffin Cockatoos and older children will often do fine, but even here it’s a “wait and see” situation. You won’t know for sure how they will get along until the relationship unfolds over time.

 

Socialization

If you do not want your Coffin cockatoo to be overly stressed and anxious, you should start socializing him or her at a very young age, introduce them to new people and other birds, expose them to a variety of situations such as new cages, toys and visits to the veterinarian.

 

Goffin’s Cockatoo Colors and Markings

Except for the pink or red facial feathers, the Goffin’s cockatoo has all-white plumage. It has a pale gray beak. Furthermore, unlike other bird species, there is no color variation between male and female. It has yellowish feathers under its wings and tail. Because of its similar appearance, this little cockatoo is frequently confused with the Cockatoo corella (Cacatua sanguinea).

 

Temperament

Goffin’s cockatoos have a reputation for being very social and affectionate. They are playful, curious, and active birds. They may be one of the smaller cockatoos, but they have a big bird personality and are quite fun-loving and gregarious.

These birds are brilliant, which leads them to mischievous, menacing behaviors. After watching you a few times, they can learn how to open the latch on their cage. You can expect to have a crafty escape artist on your hands.
