Umbrella Cockatoo #147801 for sale in Chicago , IL
Where do you live? Look for the nearest avian rescue and/or local bird stores and start there. A rescue would be preferable. There are probably tens of thousands of cockatoos up for adoption across the US, it almost seems irresponsible to buy a baby when so many misunderstood too's need homes who understand them IMO. If you live in a smaller town, check your nearest major metro area for rescues and bird stores, then get in contact with a few, see what they have available and plan a day trip to visit. Any parrot rescue is going to have plenty of cockatoos up for adoption. They are the #1 species who ends up being rehomed (over and over and over). It sounds like you know what your getting into, and you might want to let any rescue you contact know you've spent time around cockatoos and know what kind of issues they can have!
Buddy, if you ARE informed, then you'll get excellent support from all the members here. We are all about the birds first and owners second, after al,l it is The Parrot Forum, not the Parrot Qwners Forum.
What kind of cockatoo are you looking for? They are all so cute and most I have meet were real mush balls, but then again, who takes out their problem parrot to meet people ? I would have a hard time picking one, but I think I like the Lesser Sulpher Crested Too's best. Good Luck, and please come back when you get your 'too !
