Cockatoos

Cockatoo Facts & Training Information

So, you have decided to buy a Cockatoo!?! Becoming owner of one of these magnificent cockatoos may be the most important and life-altering decision you will ever make. At Bird Tricks, we are committed to helping you, no matter if you're getting him as a brand new baby or if yours is a rescue.

Cockatoos are comical and entertaining companions. If you have chosen either an Umbrella, a Moluccan Cockatoo, or Goffin, you have picked an intelligent, affectionate, playful, and enterprising cockatoo species. In fact, welcoming one into your home is like adding another member to the family! A Cockatoo, by their very nature, may present challenges. Known as “Velcro” birds, they can be noisy, demanding, and inclined to want to “love you to death.” To maintain an emotionally healthy relationship between you and your parrot, you will need professional and reliable advice.

Without this advice Cockatoos can become overly demanding, and extremely prone to scream loudly for hours on end to get your attention.

At Bird Tricks, we offer our Parrot Training Package, which covers a wide range of parrot behavior. Watch our video as we demonstrate our training techniques with average, untrained, and older birds. Listen to our CD’s as we describe how to train an aggressive or timid Cockatoo. You can also check out our pictures of cockatoos.

You will be delighted to see your Cockatoo:

• Do tricks
• Play with toys
• Play fetch
• Nod “yes” or “no”
• Dance

Owning a Moluccan Cockatoo can be a special experience. Nothing equals those silky, peach colored feathers and those “melt-in-the-moment” eyes! But, you may be experiencing problems with the noises or screaming sounds your bird makes. What can be done to reduce or eliminate your cockatoos screaming?
