Any bare-eyed cockatoo people out there?

[Guest]

Hi, everyone!

 

 

I have a bare-eyed cockatoo who I rescued several months ago. He is a sweet boy but .. well... messed up in the head. I really do think he has birdy PTSD and I wish I knew what to do to help him.

 

 

I have a decent amount of knowledge on cockatiels and African Greys and parrotlets but not as much specialized knowledge on bare-eyed cockatoos. I want to learn more about them but haven't found a whole lot of information out there on the Net or in books regarding these guys. (Mostly I find that cockatoos are talked about in a general sense, and not so much differentiated.)

 

 

My heart is broken for my little guy and I've been patiently waiting for him to hopefully be a little more comfortable but day after day, every day, he seems to be nothing but terrified, and I mean terrified, by life. I wish I knew how to help him yet I don't know what else to do for him. So I was hoping that someone out there might be able to steer me to a board similar to this one that caters to bare-eyed cockatoos.

 

 

By the way, if any of you saw the post from about a month or so ago by "babysweet" regarding the African Grey she rescued named Jakob, well, my little bare-eyed is very similar. He is traumatized and when I read the post by babysweet, I felt like I was reading about my own bird.

 

 

Any help or suggestions is very much appreciated. Thank you so much to all of you.
