We brought home our new addition this evening. His name is Raja (our umbrella cockatoo). He is just about 6 months old. <br><br>Post edited by: qqsbad, at: 2009/08/31 08:06

I was able to lightly pet her on her back a few time. As I moved towards her head and neck area she started grumbling. hopefully in a few more days she will come along.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.........

Thanks for the information and suggestion danmcq.....

Hello Everyone, I am a first time owner of a CAG. Her name is Rani and she is 9 months old. She is a cutie and loves to pose for the camera. However, she has not started to talk yet. I also bought a 5.5 months old Umbrella Cockatoo. He should be home this weekend. He already says Hello and I Love You. He has bonded with me very well and just loves to cuddle with me and shows of every time I ask him to show off, which he loves to do when women are around. Well, will you all around in the grey lounge. <br><br>Post edited by: qqsbad, at: 2009/08/25 06:47

My new baby is Rani, she is a CAG. She has been with us for a week now. She was very responsive to step up and up up. She lets my wife pet her but does not let me pet her. She will eat from hand and sit on my shoulder etc. We both socialize with her as much as we can. Today she started to bite me. She has stopped responding to setup etc. When I ask her to step up she grumbles and wants to bite me. I am not sure what happened. She is nine months old. I guess the honeymoon lasted a week. Any suggestions on turning this behavior around. Here is a picture of Rani. Post edited by: qqsbad, at: 2009/08/25 06:26 UPDATE: She was a little testy this morning. Would not step up to me. I had a little talk with her about yesterday. Told her if I upset her I was sorry and that I want to be friends again. I also told her that there can be only one boss here and that is me....and I asked her to think about it. I went back to the cage about 15 minutes later and there she was stepping up like before as if nothing happened between yesterday afternoon and this morning.......<br><br>Post edited by: qqsbad, at: 2009/08/25 17:43
