COCKATOOS
Cockatoos, especially the larger ones, are probably the most challenging parrots there are. They are often extremely noisy for long periods, demand lots of attention, and can be unpredictable in their behaviour. They are heavy chewers and hard biters. We usually want people with cockatoo experience for these guys, and don't like to place them where there are small children.
Max Flash is a 17 year old male Lesser Sulphur-crested cockatoo. He's been adopted and come back four times. He will be friendly with a woman, but only with no other people OR BIRDS around. He becomes aggressive and dangerous when there's any competition, and hates men.
LSCs are a critically endangered species. This, coupled with his history of adoption and return, means that we'll be extremely selective about any future placements. Single cockatoo-skilled woman with no other birds is what he needs.
IOWA PARROT RESCUE
Leo is a 17 year old male umbrella. He's been adopted and returned three times...because he's a male umbrella cockatoo. He's about as well behaved as they usually are, but that includes being extremely noisy and occasional biting. Adopters need to be seriously tuned in to this kind of bird.
Snowy is a Male umbrella about 30 years old. He can be tame with people he knows, enjoying pets and stepping up on his own terms. With strangers, he's very shy and prefers to run away.
Kenny is a 29 year old male umbrella cockatoo. He enjoys people, running around on top of his cage, and chewing everything in sight. Like most umbrellas, he can be loud and destructive, but great fun!
Oscar is a 52 year old Moluccan. He is shy, but has been handled a lot in his previous home. Oscar needs time to come out of his shell and meet someone he likes... Low stress environment will be best for this senior bird.
MEDICAL HOLD
Teegan is a 37 year old male Triton cockatoo. He only goes to men, is picky about them, and loves to bite. He's a bunch of fun but massively difficult to handle. We'll be picky about his placement, lots of cockatoo experience only.

Zeke is a 25 year old male Goffin's cockatoo who just returned. He much prefers men and needs time to ease back into a routine. He's your typical male cockatoo... playful, excited, goofy.
