Hey there fellow cockatoo owners! Welcome to a thread specifically for us! I have had my umbrella cockatoo for 1 year and absolutely love her (maybe not her screaming and tearing up my dresser lol 
) before her I had a sun conure, mango, but he passed away. RIP sweet mango.
Here is my cookie! Beware she is a serious cuddle bug and loves to be in my shirt

. Finally I came along....my mango had been in and out of vet and was currently trying to ween out of a oxygen chamber we created at my home. Unfortunately he had what I believe was a stroke while in the chamber and was on the edge of life that day. I finally came to the conclusion that I should either put him down or let him die on my lap where he wanted to be, I held him as he took his last breath. Only 1 night went by when waking up to a empty cage wad to much and I needed another bird. We went to a local rescue but no bird really felt like "the one" so I came home in tears. I searched and searched and found a rescue 3 hours from us, we called her and she said she thought she had the perfect bird for me. After seeing her pictures I knew she was it. Turns out she had only been in the rescue 2 days, we even went by the 2nd owners house to buy her cage for her and they got to say goodbye. Me and cookie had so much in common.....we both lost someone very dear to us and needed a unconditional love.
