Now we have two Birds of Prey

[Ranger]

This was my sons/family x-mas present. It's a 14 week old Umbrella Cockatoo (the kind Barretta had if you remember that show). This is our first large bird and I have to say these things are awesome. Very smart, talks already and very playful. She's almost like a lap dog too, really cool.

Had birds as pets as a kid and found them to be pretty cool. Ultimately, would like to get a parrot but not anytime soon.

In the first pic, thats not a good place for the bird, might poop. I love birds, had Emu and Rheas once a long time ago, now there is a bird you don't want to poop on your bike.

Forgot to mention, she's potty trained, when she needs to pinch a loaf, she'll wiggle her tail, then we just hold her over the garbage can or put her in her cage to do her business. You gotta watch for that tail though, some times we miss the que and get a nice plop on the floor..

Is that cool or what?

Beautiful bird.

I like them, but my dogs would chase it and play with it until it died.

Very cool bird. We've had a couple African Greys, they sure are smart little buggers. Like having a 3 year old forever.

Nice Umbrella, but Fred was a Triton Cockatoo, not an umbrella IIRC. I've raised several of the family, umbrella, lesser and greater sulfur crested, Moluccan and Galah, as well as African Grey Congo's and a Blue & Gold Macaw. Enjoy the addition. Be careful as many of the larger birds tend to become sexist as they mature, preferring not to be handled by either male or female. Millet spray is a fantastic treat for them, as well as Macadamia nuts (very hard shell takes them a while to get open but rewarding for them).
