Cockatoos
Ahh, the snuggle bunnies of the bird world. The black labs, the cuddlers, the "Velcro birds". The cockatoo group will let you hold them all day long. The cockatoos just want to be out of the cage and with you. Cockatoo owners must be tolerant and accepting of the ability of their pets to be VERY loud. More so than possibly all other parrots, the cockatoos are devoted to their owners and will bond very closely with people.
Their ownership requires commitment. You cannot afford a cockatoo if you cannot also afford a large, well made cage, and plenty of toys that need to be destroyed. They are birds that can be masters of mechanical engineering. The cockatoos can watch something done once, and copy it the second time! That includes opening the latch on the cage and the food dish doors too. If there's an escape to be made, a cockatoo can do it.
Cockatoos are found over vast areas of Australia and Indonesia and if you count the Cockatiel family, there are 18 cockatoo species.
