sxedanimalsxe Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 My girlfriend Nicky is in town for the weekend and we went to the pet store to see some of the birds. Here are some pics. There was a room with about 12 greys. Two where about 3 months old, one of which Nicky got to step up and let us pet him. Very sweet! Nicky LOVES the cockatoos! This guy liked my shoes... he liked Nicky's toes more though haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sxedanimalsxe Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Oh yeah... we where there for about 2 hours! Nicky LOVES the cockatoos. I do too. But I feel a grey will be more fun, interesting and a better fit for our life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Cockatoos tend to be very needy and they don't call them velcro birds for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will tell you, these birds.. if they want to go some place or do something, there isn't much you can do to stop them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Those hyacinth macaws are beautiful birds, I love to admire them but they are not for me, not at what they cost but they say they are very gentle birds, thanks for sharing these pictures with us.

Luvparrots Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Thanks for sharing the pictures of the "big" bird with us. I love to see them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sxedanimalsxe Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 He was pretty gentle... but his "gentle" bite was still pretty hard. He decided to climb up and down my back via my shirt.. and he decided to hold him self steady with his beak by biting down on my butt. My thumb got between the beak and my butt. He did a number on another guy. Bit his ear pretty good. But wasn't trying to hurt us. We all know the size and strength of this bird, he could have taken my thumb off as well as that guys ear. First time holding a hyacinth. Very silly bird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
