Hello I am looking to rescue a cockatoo or an africian gray2007-11-24 17:19:45

I want to adopt a cockatoo or africian gray. I have worked with both for years being a pet groomer and vet tech. I have everything rready for one now I just have to find one. I am home most of the day and get free vet care. I would preferr to rescue one that needs a home instead of going and buying a baby. Please help me find one.

Answers:

Please rethink having a cockatoo. They are extremely difficult to raise properly and train.

if you want to know what a Cockatoo in full throttle voice sounds like. Could you handle that every morning and every night?

However, if you think you can do it and your neighbors are deaf, have at it. Just know what you are getting into.

African Greys are wonderful! I have 2. One I adopted. If you want to adopt go to:

They have wonderful birds that need homes including African Greys and Cockatoos.

www.petfinder.com is a great site that shows photos of animals in rescue shelters that are available for adoption all over the US.

we captured a sulphur crested cockatoo for my grandfather by just leaving a huge cage out in the open with food inside, when cocky hops in, pull the door closed. the poor thing was so miserable though. you need to do this in a cockatoo populated area.
