Wow. Sad to read he is no longer with us. He is one handsome bird. Could compete in shows even.
He ate my 1948 ref 5028 bubbleback crown!
Oh no! Will he give it back? Can you believe he is just 7 months old and still growing? He's 550 grams and will weigh up to 800 grams as an adult! I gave it to him, he loves the watch ...
It almost got screwed down so hard it was going to damage the threads 🤣
He almost twisted it off hahahaha. It's like having a natural monkey wrench that has a mind of it's own
He's just making sure it's . . .
. . . the original crown. Keratin micrometers are tops!
This was my most beautiful bird but he got sick and didn't make it.
He was the most beautiful and exotic Citron I had ever seen. They are all but extinct. ...
Thank you, yes was a great loss. Only 9 years old.
I was hoping he would easily live to his 60s, he died still a young fledgling.
Living with a White Cockatoo
Even these birds are now harder to get in California and so the waiting lists are long and deposits are almost necessary to even get a call from a locator https://youtube.com/shorts/RjviL23t10A?si=DkAV6Ne8JNnEvxt5
He's a sweet character bird for sure, but what a bite!
I was just looking up at the bite force for a large umbrella cockatoo. Looks like they have been measured at 350 psi. Considering that the tip of his beak is basically stronger than a coconut, he easily punctures walnuts and the shells of whole coconuts. ...
