I don't care what anyone says - they will always be cuddly love sponges. All the naughty things my Clare does and she can make up for it with one cuddle session!

Not a better pet if you want unconditional love. That spot under the wings and around the tail triggers a breeding thing work their head they like it just as well.......enjoy

Even though their "cuddle bug" personalities fade as they get older, that happy-spot under the wing NEVER goes away, lol. I have two umbrellas (have had them since they were both about a year old) and if I even motion to them that I'm going to scratch under their wings, they turn to absolute mush :-) I swear, its like a drug to them.

I've been considering a cockatoo for going on three years now, but it's not a choice I take lightly. They stay sweet, but only if you socialize them properly. You can't give them huge amounts of attention when they're babies and expect them to deal with less as adults. They also need to be introduced to a vast array of people with GOOD results... They should be introduced to traveling by car, in a carrier, and need to be handled by many people, in order to be good pets... Your bird is great!
