Ok, I adopted a triton cockatoo that is 8 mos. old. She is being shipped to me. She wasn't as expensive as toos usually are because she had been attacked by an aggressive adult greenwing and has a small (2 cm) wound on her wing. She has been vet checked and has a health certificate. The wing is healing nicely and no infections. She can still fly. The breeder that I am getting her from is very caring, ready to answer all my q's, and made a point to check me out and ask questions before she agreed to sell her to me. She says that she has made sure that the too has not bonded with anyone but has still socialized her well with her 8 kids and also visitors that come to look at the birds. NOW. I also adopted a greenwing macaw from a local store trust, very clean, and they have a behaviorist that works very closely with us. My problem is that they keep telling me to try and get my money back for the cockatoo because they are worried that she will have aggression towards people as a result of being attacked by another animal. And that it is possible that she will never forget and end up being a bad pet. I want to disagree. But, deep down he is freaking me out. This is supposed to be an exciting time for me and he is causing all this stress. Is what he's saying true????
