Welcome to the beginning page for the baby umbrella cockatoo's
that  I raise.  These birds  are the large white  parrots that
have huge  crests on top  of their heads  that is raised to  a
verticle position when the bird is excited, threatened or dis-
playing for courtship.

Umbrella  cockatoos make one of the  most adorable pets in the
world. If properly taken care of they can live to 100 years or
more  (yes, that  is human  years) and  can be  trained  to do
tricks and mimic human speach. They are very, affectionate and
playful  and can provide a person or family with years of love
and companionship.

Besides mimicing human speach, in any language, they are great
at learning to whistle, mimicing beeps from  microwaves, rings
from  different telephones, a  certain squeak in  the door  or
your floor, cry  like a new born baby,  meow like a cat,  bark
like a dog and can even sound  just like a car alarm.......and
yes it is just as loud too! By no means are these birds quiet.
They  can be extremely  LOUD, and they  are not neat and tidy,
they actually  make a big  mess when they  decide  to go on  a
rampage  and throw their  pellets, seed  or fresh food out  of
their cage. The can also be extremely destructive. If you have
nice or new furniture, say good-bye to it. These birds love to
chew  holes in  walls, carpeting,  couches, love  seats,  will
remove trim off the door and are great at shreading  curtains.
If you cannot handle giving your house over to the real "ruler
of the roost" then I do not suggest  getting any type of large
hookbill parrot like cockatoos or macaws!

My prices include the bird, pet carrier and shipping
via Delta Airlines.  The cage is NOT included!

Here  is a pic of some chicks on the very first
day  out of their  new cage.  They  were  prev-
iously  in a smaller cage  and  couldn't  quite
figure  out the  new one  for a couple of days.


Here  is a pic of Q-tip and  Storm helping with
the  dishes.  We  couldn't quite  figure out if
they were helping or hindering!  LOL
