'Too Who ?

Description

This is my sister's 'Too. We rescued him from a petshop after he'd been shipped around from store to store of that particular chain for +- 6 yrs.

All his legs feathers had fallen off, he never spoke at all according to one of the pet store's helpers, never ate much either and was stuffed into a tiny cage, somewhere around 80 - 95 cm tall, about 60 cm wide :-(

Pet stores shouldn't exist IMO, and exotics like this should never be sold, especially since a huge majority of people have no idea that after the 'new birdie' comes home, he's like another baby.

He's doing much better, dewormed him, he talks all day and sometimes into the night too :lol: Adores fingers and toes as snacks ;-)

Photo taken on a mobile phone since he's such a fidgety character and can never sit still for more than a moment, so i had to react quick. In this pic, he had been chastised by my sister and was feeling a little sorry for himself *never yell at a parrot or try to plonk them on the head etc - one of the cardinal rules, they remember everything :-D* His cheeks looks so soft :faint:

My sister named him after a character from the Godfather :rofl:

He looks like a Sulphur crested cockatoo. I'm going to assume is not, perhaps the less common Yellow crested cockatoo?
