Cockatoo is the most affectionate and loving of all the cockatoo
species , but they are not for the average person. They require
attention just as a child would and if that attention is not
recieved then problems can develop such as , Screeming and
feather picking. You have not lived until you are in the same
room with a Moluccan and it screems!! This bird is highly
Intelligent (As are all Cockatoos) and loves their human pets!
