Health issues with captive birds are common since many people do not provide a proper diet for cockatoos. Pet white cockatoos may raise their crests upon training, or when something catches their interest such as a new toy or person. Like other cockatoos, white cockatoos can learn a large number of words, and are able to construct simple sentences with the words they learn.
This species is known for producing large quantities of feather dust, which may be problematic for humans with respiratory problems or allergies. In a cage, with no escape path, they can be subjected to stress which often leads to feather picking (as with many pet birds). They have a "fight or flight" flock mentality, and generally prefer to fly away from danger.
Type of cockatoo parrot crack#
They have very strong beaks which can be easily crack walnuts or maim fingers. They can become very bonded (or dependent) on their human companion and this combined with their long life and often misunderstood behaviours can lead to issues. They are often used in live animal acts in zoos and amusement parks because they are naturally acrobatic and easily trained, because of their highly social nature and high level of intelligence.Ĭockatoos present several difficulties for their owners. Although capable of imitating basic human speech, they are not considered the most able speakers among parrots.
Anyone not used to cockatoo behavior may find this cuddling behavior odd, as most parrots do not cuddle like the umbrella cockatoo. They are often called "velcro birds" because they like to cuddle with people, especially their owners, or primary care-taker. White cockatoos are kept as pets because they can be very affectionate, bond closely with people and are valued for their beauty.
