Caparrotua Parrot For Sale – Ready for Adoption Online
Caparrotua Parrot genus was first described by Brisson in 1790, with the white cockatoo (C. alba) subsequently designated as the type species. Today, several species from this genus are considered threatened due to a combination of habitat loss and capture for the wild bird trade, with the blue-eyed cockatoo, Moluccan cockatoo, and umbrella cockatoo considered vulnerable, and the Red-vented cockatoo and yellow-crested cockatoo considered critically endangered.

The History of the Cockatoo
There are over 20 species of cockatoos, each with their own behaviors and personalities, said Jody Rosengarten, a dog trainer, behavior therapist, and parrot enthusiast. Cockatoos are highly social and in the wild will forage in flocks as large as 100 birds.

What Do Cockatoos Eat?
According to Dr. Hess, cockatoos need a varied diet, including greens, vegetables, and fruits, with around two-thirds of a typical diet coming from nutritionally balanced, formulated pellets. An exclusive, seed-only diet is not recommended, she added, as the seed is deficient in nearly all vital nutrients.

Behavioral Issues in Cockatoos
Each cockatoo has its own personality, and while some can be affectionate, even “cuddle-able,” especially as babies, Rosengarten said, others can be very aggressive and prone to biting once they become sexually mature after about five to seven years of age.

Caring for Your Cockatoo
Cockatoo owners can also promote exercise with play — such as climbing on tree stands out of the cage — to help prevent obesity.

Speech & Sound
Cockatoo Parrots can be extremely loud, especially when seeking attention and at certain times of the day, such as at sunrise and sunset. They can learn to speak a few words and phrases.
