Broody cockatoo

[Pampered chicken girl]

Hi all, I have a 23 year old female umbrella cockatoo that has recently decided a charger is her egg yesterday I noticed her going up to it and putting it under her and she squats down and kinda shakes. I know that's probably not very healthy for her so I took the charger away. Any advice? Is this behavior harmful to her?

Sounds like your cockatoo is trying to mate. Probably best to not let your bird have access to electronics as they can chew through wires pretty quickly.
