    It went wonderfully! She is SUCH a cockatoo! So much like Amigo that I would guess her to be a male but lots that is different also. She's not AS intense as Amigo was around the men in my life but she is intense, very aware. I don't know if it's the deepness/tone of their voice..or what..?. I know we are still in the honeymoon period but I have a good feeling that she will be more accepting of men than Amigo was.

    We are becoming fast friends!

    I'm so happy to read this. Hopefully she won't be terrorizing the meter readers at your house. Although it does make for great stories.

    How do you find her similar to Amigo and what is different? I don't know a whole lot about cockatoo's besides a few cuddling experiences and what I have read. I would love to hear all about it.

    Thanks, Kendra! My greatest wish would be to see her terrorize the meter reader guy!

    She is similar to Amigo in the way she moves/stumbles around a cage, her eyes are almost exactly like his, black. I've found her very easy to read when I move through her space..she's such a gomer cockatoo, which I love! She is just as loud as Amigo but throws in words like HELLO...WHAT??..I LOVE YOU...Amigo's vocabulary was limited to "Hi There", and I would miss that dearly except he taught it to the Sassy girl!

    She seems to enjoy my company, snuggles like Amigo and gives kisses. When I walk around with her on my right arm, I cuddle her with my left and she reaches up to my face and gives me kisses..she's pretty amazing..even her chew fests!

    Hi, Dan! Yes, Shaggy IS an umbrella cockatoo! You don't know my history, I had a male U2 that was a free flyer outside. Sadly, I lost him in July and Shaggy is a new member to our flock.
