Umbrella Cockatoo |

|
The beautiful and captivating Umbrella Cockatoo. Sometimes referred
to as one of the loudest Cockatoos, the Umbrella is one of the most
popular companion parrots. With their amazing crests, expressive
faces, and cuddly personalities these incredible birds can be hard
to resist. Unfortunately Umbrellas are also known for being highly
neurotic and self destructive if everything in their environment is
not exactly right. Highly intelligent parrots, they can learn many
tricks and other ways to please their companion people. Umbrellas
are not known especially for their talking ability, but they are
capable of speech if they choose to learn it.
It is also
important to remember that male umbrella cockatoos are known for
sexual aggression with their mates, be it human or parrot. They
have torn the beaks off of other birds, and mutilated them in
other ways also. It is important that people protect themselves
from this kind of behaviour, never allowing a cockatoo on your
shoulder is an important step one.
We
think it is especially important to be aware that the Umbrella
Cockatoo goes through phases at it matures, from a snuggly baby
bird, to a hormonal teenage bird, and to an adult bird who has
needs, desires, and its own agenda. The commitment needed to
care for these birds into adulthood is huge, and no one should
take one lightly.
