   Looking for Homes (Cockatoo)  
Rocky the Ducorps Cockatoo

Hi I am Rocky and I’m a magnificent Ducorps cockatoo and I’m a big 4yr old.

I had a hard start in life and my safe house mum says I need to write a special begging letter to all you nice people out there who could offer me a lovely forever home. These are my requirements in life. I would like a nice lady friend too look after me, I don’t mind those men things but don’t expect me to fall in love and cuddle one!!!!!! My safe house mummy has these two grey birds and I don’t like them much, they are loud and when they came to visit me in my room I hissed and screamed at them I even fluffed myself up they must have been scared as she took them away again....she won’t be bringing them to visit any time soon I made sure she knew I didn’t like big birds although I used to like the karaka I lived with once. You need to like trainee hairdressers..... As I am work in progress I snip my own feathers!!!! I call it trendy my safe house mum sprays them with aloe juice for me. If you let me I will preen your hair to and I promise to be good and not snip too much off.  I have a few things that I don’t mind telling you nice people if you promise not to tell everyone else......I’m terrified of brushes and mops! My safe house mummy doesn’t know why, so she moves me so I’m not scared when she uses them. Oh and while I’m on it there is one of those spotty smelly boy things here and he wears a black t-shirt which scares me stiff it has a big white adidas print thing on. There are nice benefits for you too; I love cuddles but prefer for now to stay on my cage for them but I’m getting better. I wish I could be brave enough to climb on her knee, I know I would love a real snuggle and I hope you would be patient and let me do this in my own time. I do need work on that thing she calls step up!!!!! WHAT is that all about ...suppose one day I will have to do it but I’m holding out on her lol. I am happy to spend a few hours alone but I will want to come out of the cage when you come home, in fact I will demand this as soon as I see you. One final thing, I WILL EAT ANYTHING you give me or you try to eat without me!!!! It won’t happen unless I get a bit!!!!

I am currently living in Liverpool and I do come with my own cage.

 

Peanuts the Lesser Sulpher Crested Cockatoo - 1268

Hi my name is Peanuts. I am a Lesser Sulphur Crested Cockatoo.

I am looking for a home with someone who has patience and love, and understands that I do like to bite every now and then.  I love to fool you and make the sound of a telephone ringing, just to see if you go to answer it, and I like to ask you to give us a kiss.  I am very fast, so I need somone who is experienced with cockatoos as I am very unpredictable.  I do like children, girls are my favourite, I am not too keen on those other ones....you know the ones the boys!!!  But in time I will get better hopefully or so my safehouse mummy says, but I will probably always be not too keen on boys.   I love my food, especially potato and chicken, I like to play, and I am ok playing on my own if you need to go to work to earn lots of pennies to spoil me with.

I do come with my own cage which is ok, but my safe house mummy says a new cage would be better. I am currently living in Herne Bay, Kent.

 
      
   About - Looking for Homes (Cockatoo)  

Welcome to the Cockatoo Re-homing List.

The Cockatoos in this section are looking for very specific homes. Cockatoos by their very nature require a dedicated and experienced home. Cockatoos behaviour is very different to most other parrots, and because of this only experience Cockatoo handlers are likely to be accepted to home them.

IMPORTANT - Please be sure that you have read the
Re-homing Information before applying for a bird.


Once you have read and understood the instructions you can apply for a bird by submitting a re-homing application.

Please also remember that we are all volunteers and as such it may take a few days to get back to you.
