Why do people get cocatoos as pets? when they live up to 100 years and need you so much?
And they are so highly intellignet and socaible needint bird friineds and mate for life when your life will change so much and upset them... Also as you dont need a cage why get one... If the bird has bonded to you it wont fly off even if let outside.

That's why cockatoos are the 1# parrot turned into bird rescues, and they are filling up the bird shelters. People don't realize that they don't stay cuddly forever.
Most don't live past 30 since people don't take care of them right...they can live up to 100, but that doesn't happen very often.Sad.

some people like that kind of bond and I'm sure the next generation in the family would take care of the bird when the owner passes on.
how do you know so much about them if you don't own one and if you do own one why ask?

Cockatoos are beautiful, passive birds.

Many people get them as a subconcious child substitute.

People are selfish. Please people think about who will inherit your cockatoo.
