He’s so handsome. I’m a vet asst. FYI. You should try an all aluminum cage, because galvanized steel like yours, can get a white rusty powder, in between the cage rungs and bars, and that causes heavy metal poisoning in tropical birds. Some bells, and metallic paint on bird toys can cause it, too. Some other things to watch out for: Teflon coated cooking pans, when cooking food at high heat, causes fumes which is dangerous to birds, keep their quarters out of the kitchen. Also any chemicals, like nail polish, polish remover, glass cleaner. Spores in the air, or in bird food. They’re very sensitive.
Really sweet bird!

I too have a rescue Goffin cockatoo
She's named Rosie. When I rescued in 2013, she had aggressively plucked her feathers. I have tried many things. Seen many avian vets. Changed her diet. The only feathers that she has left are wings, tail and her crown, or party hat as I call it. She has an amazing vocabulary and we talk to each other all day. I have been told that her first owner who she was bonded to, passed away. Hardly a day goes by that she doesn't call out Donna. I usually respond with Momma's here and we go on with the day. Your bird is very lucky to have found you. Best wishes!

This is the problem with people getting parrots, they dont understand these are exotic animals require lots of care and love as well. You cant just get another animal and throw one in the basement of a house especially a parrot, they always want to be with you. Ive just adopted one myself known to have 12 different homes, kept being taken back to adoption place simply because no one wanted to work with him and ill tell you hes the happiest bird in my home. needless to say he choose me

OMG amazing video and you are an amazing person for not giving up on this bird. One year is a long time but thank you so much for your love and patience. You are a cockatoo whisperer (like the horse whisperer) a rare gift. I know these birds are very sensitive so obviously since he trusts you, you did everything right. Thank you a million times for helping out a sweet lost bird!

I'm currently in the same boat with a rescue cockatoo. He trusted us at first but he needed to be toweled a few times for his own safety and now he barely trusts anyone. He'll let me pet him in some circumstances but he has a penchant to get anxious and fling himself. We let him approach us mostly just to keep him from hurting himself. If it takes a year though, I'll do it.

My heart aches for all the poor birds who are suffering alone right now, unable to escape and just crying out their anguish for help that never comes, and getting punished when they are loud when they desperately try to scream for someone to help them and rescue them. They deserve so much better, and there are so few laws protecting them.

Sad to know, it’s a very sad fact/reality of world we live in that many behave more like animals than animals do. Animals love unconditionally whether you’re rich or poor, beautiful or not so beautiful, smart or not so smart. They recognize/respond to love will give you back a hundred times more than what you give them.

I have a cat that didn't bond with her first owner and her owner surrendered her. It was hard because my cat had been with her first owner since she was born. It took her a year before she really warmed up to me. Now me and her are the best of buddies.

Cockatoos are amazing birds. They love to play and be touched. Mine was a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. My friend has a Goffin too. He named him Houdini because he could escape from the cage no matter what they did.

Am so very glad you found him, and he found you. I think he was very scared. The cruelty of some people. Your patience paid off. Am always so grateful for people who are patient with animals. That is so important

If my dogs wouldn't like my parrot I would leave them at the pet adoption, not the parrot. I'm so happy that the parrot is happy now, how could you choose a dog over a parrot so much like a human being.

I can't even imagine how tortured this poor animal was. His former owners were from hell! No regard for life. I hope their new dog fares better than this bird did in their care.

Cookie is adorable and so is her mom. I am not surprised it took her a year to come around. It takes a while to recover from emotional deprivation and physical isolation.

This video is absolutely precious! I’ve seen so many other videos allowing their cockatoos to go outside. How is it that the bird doesn’t fly off
