Hi there,
I am selling my male cockatoo 'lou cockatoo'
Lou is 4 years old and has been with me for about 15 months. He has had 2 previous owners and has never been hand tamed.
He has an amazing personality but i cannot get him over his fear of being touched. I have tried clicker training, and other methods, but to no avail, he just doesn't want to be touched.
He has full flight and have never been clipped, something I'd never do to a bird. He is out of his cage all day everyday, he comes out of his cage, and goes back in all on his own, and at about 6pm he'll tell you it's his bedtime.
He needs a more experienced handler, or a person who has no children, as he's definitely a 1 person bird.
He eats very healthily and doesn't like parrot food, well i've not found a brand or variety that he likes in my 15 moths with him!
I love him dearly, but i just feel that I'm failing as a parrot owner.
Can anyone take Loud for me and give him the training and guidance that he needs?
He comes with his large cage, he really needs an experienced handler, not a first time pet!!
