Goffin’s Cockatoo – Male #PS8807

Beskrivning

This bird is available for adoption rather than standard placement because it is either an adult bird that was surrendered to us or a bird with a physical disability requiring a more specialized home.

Adoption Approval Required:
We are very selective with our adoption placements and maintain a strict approval process to ensure each bird is matched with the best possible home. Potential adopters should expect to provide proof of appropriate caging, along with photos and videos of the home environment where the bird will be living. Applicants will also be asked to complete a specific set of questions so we can better understand their experience level, household, and overall preparedness. Please note that we reserve full authority to approve or deny any adoption application based on factors including, but not limited to, experience, cage setup, household environment, and existing birds or flock dynamics. All adoption placements must be picked up at Parrot Stars.

Scientific Name: Cacatua goffiniana
Native Range: Tanimbar Islands, South East Indonesia

The Goffin’s Cockatoo, also known as the Tanimbar Corella, is a small cockatoo species within the family Cacatuidae. It is characterized by predominantly white plumage, light pink tones around the beak and chest, and a short white crest. They are one of the most intelligent animals in the world! In the wild, Goffin’s Cockatoos inhabit tropical forests, cultivated areas, and woodland regions of the Tanimbar Islands in Indonesia. They nest in tree cavities and are typically found in pairs or small groups.

At Parrot Stars, we prioritize education, welfare, and responsible parrot ownership to help ensure every bird finds and thrives in a forever home. Before taking home any parrot, we provide comprehensive guidance on proper caging and setup, positive reinforcement training, household safety, nutrition, and enrichment. Parrots in captivity are still wild animals with all their natural instincts. Your overall success and experience with any species of companion parrot is greatly impacted by positive reinforcement training. A parrot’s behavior reflects both the environment they live in and the training they receive.

All of our hand-fed babies are hatched and raised in our own breeding facility and weaned onto a diverse, high-variety diet. Our parrots are never clipped and are fully flighted.
