Sadly I have developed a serve respiratory allergy to my beloved Cockatoo. He is had raised from a chick. He is very, very intelligent and not typical. When he speaks it is usually " hello, good boy or I want to go outside."Sometimes he says" get the F--k out of my house" to a male visitor He is very used to dogs and even walks around the house with my poodles. He is very good with females and dogs. He loves taking walks outside in good weather. Won't fly away and he prefers to sit on your shoulder for his excursions. He comes with a large stainless-steel cage, toys and a hard-shell transportation case with a handle. I can't wait for you to meet him. Hiss is very entertaining.
