Of course its not for everyone. Most pet owners do not
understand what's at stake when purchasing these very
loving and demanding birds. These birds remind me of a
2 year old human child that never grows up. Its always
give me, I want that, lets see how much noise I can
make, etc. Please, if you cannot utterly stop your life
and devote it to these creatures please do not even
think about it. But for those lucky ones that can give
these birds the kind of life they deserve, then you
will have a unconditional friend and companion
forever. This species is very affectionate to
their owners. Talking ability is limited but many have
learned to speak quite well. This species without
a doubt is the most affectionate bird we have ever
seen..
All of our baby Moluccan Cockatoos are incubator hatched and
handfed from day one. By doing this we are able to
control the environment from day one. Thus resulting
in a much more human socialized and healthier baby.
This day one control also helps us in keeping our
birds healthier, by not letting the parents incubate
or brood we eliminate many problems associated with
the parents passing on pathogens or the babies picking
up many bacteria from the nest boxes.
More work for our staff but its worth it. Our quality
babies speak for themselves. All our babies
go home with a free complete starter kit, such as
food, treat and Oxyfresh Cleansing Gele for sanitizing
your hands, cages, bowls, etc.
