I also have to actually find one of these, not to mention. No parrot will perfectly allign with its behaviour description. Zelda (and Link, a male one) are the only red-tailed black cockatoos I have ever seen (and also held, and I felt really comfortable with both of them on me, I shouldn't be biting more than I can chew). I couldn't trade this one for anything.īut, regardless, I only have articles to read. The most aggression he has shown against another parrot is the umbrella cockatoo barking contest from 5 days ago. He has been at ground level with parrots before, and he has always left them alone. I really understand the predator risk, but if you met my dog, you'd know it wouldn't be a problem. That's the biggest problem I could find, so this may be a cakewalk. I will never leave them in the same place unattended, though. I will keep them as separated as possible initially, and slowly get them sharing the same spaces. It's a process he has already been through. It's like keeping him off of my allergic mother, just with a parrot now. That's unlikely to happen with proper training, anyway. My concern is not him getting hostile, but that he'll try to lick it. That mutualism between me and an animal is what I need, and I need more fun in my life. He also said that despite the difficulty, parrots are really fun to live with. He describes that the difficulty has helped him grow as a person. I have a neighbour who owns a blue-throated macaw. For the past few years, I've lacked that challenge, and I have felt miserable compared to when I was young. Difficulty gets my creative mind working. Challenge has always pushed me to do better. Its price doesn't seem too dissimilar to other cockatoos, either.Īlso, challenge is what I need. Most "flashy" parrots are the extra-aggressive ones, but these ones seem to grow to be sweet with the right owner. It's shocking that this species is described as tame. I'm also a black and red sucker, and take a look at the male. I'm sorry, but I'm a sucker for black and gold. Small and large both have pros and cons.Īnd, yes, I want a cool-looking parrot. I feel like size and difficulty have too strong a correlation. I like to have a little more time to think. Fly slower, move their head slower, walk slower, grow slower. Since it's larger, it should potty less often and movement should generally be slower than small parrots. I won't need an outrageous amount of real estate for it, but I won't have to check under the towels constantly. It's a really nice balance between large and small. Quick movement makes me too anxious that something could go wrong. The larger size compared to a budgie yields less frequent poops and slower flight and movement. Pin feathers will be easier to spot and get out compared to the usual white cockatoo. The main appeal I see is the moderate size and the contrast between the furniture in my home and the colour of the parrot. I have jumped between a lot of different species (Scarlet macaw, green winged macaw, mollucan cockatoo, congo african grey, hawk-headed parrot which was an absolute nope, and now this), I feel like this is the one though. I would really like to get a red-tailed black cockatoo. Any further reading is just redundant, now. I've been doing quite a lot of research for the past 2 years, so I think it's about time I prepared for getting one. I have never owned a parrot, but I'm no stranger to their behaviour. I could get her up and down, and also pet her without getting bitten. When I visited in August of 2020, she was really feisty and nippy. Her behaviour was remarkably different compared to several months ago. This was around 5 days ago, and it was my second visit to the place. This is Zelda, a red-tailed black cockatoo at Parrot Mountain in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
