Ollie

Hi everyone!! My name is Ollie, and I am a Goffin Cockatoo! I am approximately 21 years old, and I am one smart and handsome bird! I was a Haven Hospice Pet Therapy Parrot from 2008 until 2010 and thrilled many patients in the Care Center and nursing homes! I have been retired since then. I am adjusting to my new foster home and warming up to my foster mom. She thinks I am pretty cool! I am used to being handled and I do not have a preference for men or women. I can be a bit nippy, so it may be best if I am adopted into a home with children 12 years and older. Like all Cockatoos, I LOVE attention! I also enjoy chewing! My foster mom gives me lots of things to chew on because I will cause some damage if I am not given lots of chew toys to keep me busy. I enjoy mist baths and really enjoy having my head scratched. I will click my beak rapidly when I am happy or excited. I am not bothered by the dogs or cats in my foster home, but we are never let out together. I require a lot of attention and like most Cockatoos, if I don't give it, I will scream. I will continually make loud noises, so no shared walls like apartments or townhomes for me. I am on a healthy diet of chop, pellets, healthy seeds, fresh fruit and veggies, and shelled nuts for a treat. I am a good eater, but I can and do make a big mess. I do barber and pluck some my feathers, but my foster mom is currently working on getting me to stop by giving me attention. I will also stop if soft ties are put around my neck. I enjoy mist baths. Overall, I am an active and fun fella. I am looking for a forever home that has time, patience, and lots of love to give me. it is important to understand Cockatoos and our needs.
