Paco the Moluccan Cockatoo

[Chinniechantel]

Let me give you a tour! Here are some of my toys...

This is my escape route...

Here is the roof...

This is me getting ready for a shower...

I am ready, let me in, let me in!

 

[Chinniechantel]

If you don't let me in I will fly there mom...

Look at my purdy wings...

Ok, I'm done dry me off please!

Cuddling with daddy

Byebye!

Oh man, she is so pretty and full of spunk!! You can see her personality shine!

Cute - I wanted one but the wife was working nights, and felt it'd be too noisy during the day, as they're kinda loud.
Really missed those "perfect pictures" too!

Wow, how pretty! That's an awesome cage, too. Lots of fun for your beaky baby.

 

[acbieri]

Wow what a gorgeous bird!!! Awesome pics too!

Paco is very beautiful! I recently had a cockatiel pass and we're thinking of replacing her. I think a Cockatoo would be a lot of fun to have, especially after looking at your pics! It's just like having another small child running around!!!

love the pics. Not to say that the chins and other critters don't, but parrots, man do they have personality!

Aw, good to see pictures of him. He's so pretty!

One note about whoever clipped his wings: the trim is not close enough to the coverts (can cause discomfort when the wings are closed and can cause some birds to pick at their wing feathers), way too many feathers were clipped (normally cockatoos only need 5-7 primaries trimmed) and the secondaries should NEVER be trimmed. He has so many feathers trimmed, if he attempts to fly, he will fall hard to the ground rather than gliding and can break his keelbone or a leg. Be careful who you have trim his wings... I would recommend going to an experienced avian vet. I wouldn't want him to get hurt!

Awe great pictures. I have done work with alot of birds and the cockatoos are by far my favorite. They are just so personable.

Paco is a complete, absolute, without a doubt Cutie Pie. I love Cockatoos and your pictures do such a wonderful job of capturing Paco's personality...and yours :thumbsup: (Ahhhh, exotic pet owners, what a special breed)

Paco is very handsome! He looks like a sweetie! I have always wanted a cockatoo! Love their personality!

Is he still surprising you with what he knows from his first owners? Any more beatboxing?

 

[Essentia]

Any more beatboxing?

That's hilarious! We definitely need video of this.
