Can I see some pictures?

I haven't seen any recently, so it would be wonderful if we could get some 'too owners to post some pics of their birds. I love Cockatoos (no, I don't want one, never will ).

So if any of you could share some pics, the crazier the better, I would be so very happy

I will try to take some of abby later this week remind me if I havent I still have to post the abby was here pics of what she did to my dining room table set (I hated it so I am not upset over it btw I find it funny)


Cant wait to see what others post

As soon as I find the rest of my house...not to mention my camera, I'll get right on that! I've been Upgrading cages and moving birds to different cages and moving cages to different parts of the house...UGH...So its been a little hectic here today...and I'm not even close to being done....SIGH...But I will get some new Cockatoo photo's for you...I promise

I don't own one, but the sanctuary I am at is mostly toos, so have a couple from them...the first is our xmas pic from two years ago (these are mutilators, so we use sock buddies as deterants, just spiced it up a bit for the pic)

I"m sure I could get more, but thats all I hav eon my work puter.

Thanks, Karen!!!

That second shot is gorgeous!!! I'm going to have to make a trip down to Mollywood sometime in the next year. I enjoyed it SO much the first time I was there.

you'll have to let me know when! So I can meet you! I'm there almost every Sunday right now...although I'll have to cut back eventually, as life happens...but the idea is everyother week..We've almost got another aviary up and running..so should be good..Then at least Colleen and i can have a separate medical area, rather than using the kitchen!

Carrie~Anne,

The woman who runs the rescue I work with has THREE cockatoos - two TERRIBLY PLUCKED Umbrellas (one was kept by her previous guardian in a CockaTIEL cage, so she could never open her wings and didn't even know she HAD any!) and a Moluccan. I will try to get her to forward me some pics of them to post for you!

Michelle

Thanks, Chelle!! That would be wonderful

Carrie,

I am attaching a photo of Sunshine (left) and Daphne (right). They are the two Umbrella Cockatoos that are being fostered by the rescue I am working with. That's Tim, Lisa's (the founder of the rescue) husband.

Sunshine was kept in a cockaTIEL cage by her former guardian so she didn't know she had wings because she could never spread them. It took her a couple weeks to even be able to get her balance to step up and perch on someone's arm. She is terribly plucked - by another cockatoo who has since been rehomed.

Daphne has nicer feathers, but she is mutilating. She now has a collar on, and is miserable. Both are now on a proper pellet diet, are receiving full-spectrum ligthting, and proper vet care. We're hoping that in time they will be able to be rehomed. They are both very sweet birds!

The yellow ringneck is Jack - he's Tim's bird.

Oh, they are both beautiful!!!! Sad about their situations, but it is great to see that they are being looked after now.

My roommate has a Citron that is just about weaned and will be coming home soon. She is just a doll !!

this one always makes me laugh.

Beautiful birds!!!

You all have to stop now! There are now TWO cockatoos looking for homes at the rescue - one Umbrella and one Moluccan...and you are all making me WANT ONE with all these photos!

Thanks a lot Carrie~Anne!

LOL Michelle!!! Soooowwwy!! While I love Cockatoos, I know they aren't a bird for me. So looking at all the pictures does me no harm. Perhaps I should of put a disclaimer at the beginning of my post

Steph, they are gorgeous!!!! Gosh, their feathers look so soft

Well, even tho I don't have my Murphy anymore doesn't mean he isn't still in my hreart....BTW he is doing really good in his new home..makes me sad tho...I miss him very much


~Day at the Park~

Betty, what kind of cockatoo is Murphy? A Goffin? I LOVE Goffins! I think they are my favorite cockatoo!

Yes he is, and I really think they are one of the best Too's out there....for those who really want a Too but are affraid of the huge commitment of the bigger should give a Goffins a try...they are just as loving and silly...can you tell I really really miss him?...

This is Boo - Our bare eyed cockatoo. He is 14ish years old & loves his baths!

awwwwww Betty, I know you still miss Murphy. Thanks for letting us know he's still doing well. I think of the both of you often. He is a beautiful Goffin!!!

Laura!! A Bare Eyed??? I haven't seen a pic of those in ages!!! He is gorgeous!!!

yes he sure is a bare eyed & gorgeous. I guess they are not a very popular type of too? I love My boo - and would gladly add another one ANY DAY! I love the G2's also - We just had a Mollucan come tough our rescue. I only had him a week but he was a beauity also!

When he 1st came he loved his dad the most. Now, he loves hims mom most! The 2nd day he was home, he was almost arrested

It's amazing how much the Bare eye and Goffins look alike...only difference I can see is the eye area???...I have not met a Bare eye in person..are they as fun as the Goffins???

This is Max our 12 year old Umbrella! He loves the camera!




Here are a couple of Rumor my goffin. He is 5 years.

AAAwwwwww they're beautiful!!! Love the 'too 'tude that Maxie shows with his umbrella up!! lol

my u2 is not with me now so i cant get any pics. nmone n this comp.

Goffin's are the comedians...but are typically a little "thinner" or less stocky than the bare-eyes..bare-eyes are a bit bigger and usually nippier too..just in general. Thats been my experience with them at least!

You may have read this before but if by chance you have not . please do. it's long so make sure you have time.

let me know what you think or if you have read this before.
just curious.

Its sad to see how many toos are abbused.

Yes, they are...we have seen FOUR of them in FOUR weeks in the rescue! I don't think people realize what a big responsibility they are!!

I have seen the page where she totally trashed the house...omg, that was way too funny!!!

But I hadn't seen the entire website! Wow, what a beautiful 'too!!! Gonna have to bookmark that one, thanks for sharing, Lisa!

The bare eye has no feathers around his eye. Also has a patch of fluid under each eye. They sound totally diffrent also, I couldnt say about here personality boo is pretty laid back due to his upbring & age

Here is a video of his sound
