That would be fine...I am not a cockatoo expert by any means and have never
owned one, but know lots of people who do and also work with several bird rescue
and adoption groups in the Midwest, and therefore have learned alot about their
pluses and negatives. Again, in the right home and with the right owner, they can
be rewarding pets, however, not very many owners and set ups can give the bird
everything it needs and continue to do so for the next 40 years. The average age
for a cockatoo being relinquished to a rescue is about 7 years old...very young for a
bird that can live decades. So most people can't manage them longer than just a
few years. When they reach sexual maturity between 5-7 years old, that is often
when the problems really begin ( screaming,, territorial aggression).
