My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet awesome Ollie! This sweet boy is full of personality and loves to spend time with his people. Ollie loves to dance and he will happily entertain you with his fancy moves. He has not been a huge talker here, but he does know some words and he will chat when he's in the mood for it. Typical of cockatoos, he can screech quite loudly when he is unhappy about something.

Ollie has been fairly good about eating a variety of foods here in shelter, and we are feeding him Harrison's pellets along with fresh foods, while slowly reducing his seed intake, as recommended by the vet.

Ollie is also a very busy boy who needs lots of enrichment. Toys, puzzles, things to destroy - cockatoos are intelligent animals that are hardwired to always be foraging for food, so it is important to keep them busy. He is unfortunately missing one of his feet, but he has adapted quite well to his disability. We have been careful about how his cage is set up, with lots of soft areas to stand to reduce the strain on his bad leg.

Ollie is 15 years old, and cockatoos can live upwards of 60+ years, so his new family will need to be prepared for that commitment.

We are looking for an experienced home that can give Ollie the life he needs and deserves. If you are interested in adopting Ollie, please fill out an application!
