they have a nice taste
mMmm...
Often times I wonder why
There's love and hate, theres live or die.
When sickness comes I must decide:
When feelings go, theres suicide.

I had one as well, and as everyone says, it's very easy. But the fuckers do tend to make a racket. Mine used to start screeching like a banshee every time the phone rang.Converting like a mofoComment

Dude, those things are screeching loud bastards that never shut the fuck up. I was hearing the one that my mother had for hours AFTER I left her house!
Cockatoos, though, are quieter. Go for those.

I have a Timneh African Grey.. smaller, not as noisy and very intelligent.
There are two cockatoos at the bird store where I go. We were there today. There is one there right now that is the most wacko, silly, loving, cuddly thing I've ever seen. Because of some strange circumstances in her owner's life , she's ended up pretty much living at the bird shop (very sad and selfish of the owner I think). She's going through her terrible twos, but she's very sweet for the most part. She was out when I got there today. As I walked by, she pipes up "Go Bye Bye!" and put one foot out. She went from my hand to my chest (literally snuggled up sitting on my boobs with her head under my neck) then make the loudest smooching sound I've ever heard. Couldn't help but love it. She will also bounce up and down until you moving your hand up and down with her own it.. then all of the sudden she'll swing herself backwards and upside down. If she's out on a stand or has her cage door open and you won't come to her, she'll come to you.. walking on the floor like a penguin.
Anywhooo.. long story but.. a cockatoo's personality is very dependent on the time spent with its owner and the patience. To get the type of fun personality that this bird has, meant alot of hours dedicated to the bird.
They can be very demanding of your attention and will be very vocal if ignored. They are one of the louder of the larger 'pet' birds.
I'd suggest you do as much reading up on them as possible. If you've never owned a bird larger than a parakeet, you might even consider several visits to where-ever you are looking at purchasing. When you do purchase, do so from an aviary or bird store, not from a pet store that just happens to sell birds along with everything else.Comment

PK is right. They can be a handfull. Fun but ignore them and forget about it they will make your life hell. They can also learn bad habits like a kid or dog. If screaming as loud as they can gets your attention (and they scream loud) they will do it every time they feel they want it (which is often).Originally posted by PersianKitty

I have a Macaw and a grey. The Macaw can be a pain in the ass as it is. I couldnt imagine dealing with a Cockatoo. Think twice before getting one.. err maybe think three times and read a bunch of books if you like your sanity

African Greys are kick ass birds, and VERY intelligent. But you have to spend a great deal of time with birds or they do get depressed and so forth.
