Harley the cockatoo

I am Anja ,Harley's owner  . Harley born in july 2008 (Netherlands) We got her when she was 8 weeks old . We have had our whole life birds (smaller ones  agrapornissen , cockatiels  and canary's ) But our dream was always to have a cockatoo ... so we read a lot about  what it is having a cockatoo  the positives things but more important the negative things.. Most people forget this .... they are very loud , make very much dust , a lot of mess , destroy everything they got in their beak  ... so we take a year to get all the + and the  -   in our head .. before we say yes .It is daily hard working, cost mommy  very much energy to raise me from baby to what i am today  ... i take a lot of her time i am never when mom is at home in  my cage  i have all the freedom to play and be a naughty ,funny and cute girl :) A PARROT IS A LIFETIME COMMITMENT  AND NO TOY  !!!  SO THINK very Very very long  BEFORE YOU SAY I WANT ONE . They are not All  Harley's  !! and have their own character!!!!!!
