Gotcha Day pizza party - 20 years with Boo my goffins cockatoo!

Boo’s my goffin cockatoo's gotcha day pizza party (warning, the last 15 minutes is spent on his favorite part… I should’ve only gotten apple pie à la mode).
The main thing that has changed (besides losing the braces and gaining 10+lbs) since 2000 is my taste... cider more than beer and local pizzeria more than Dominos.
Check out his baby pictures from 2000 here: thebirdybabe...
Pizza and apple pie from Pi Pizzeria

Why you're giving them pizza ? Are you trying to get them sick?

[@tramany7]

Goffins are like babies omg they are so freakin adorable

[@ruthfoster6706]

Oh so adorable congratulations all on 20 years together

[@debbiestokes2310]

They look just like my Bare Eyed Cockatoo Michael who is 35 yrs old and never stops playing and he is never without his ChockFull O Nuts coffee can ❤❤❤

[@TheBirdyBabe]

Awww! That is incredible Michael is so old - has he spent all that time with you?

[@debbiestokes2310]

@@TheBirdyBabe Yes he was 4 months old when I got him .

[@davidpocrnich1976]

A loyal 20-year companion is so beautiful... I should be jealous lol Thank you for sharing your loving family... You must be so exhausted. Do you have any larger cages... For me :)

[@TheBirdyBabe]

He is 23 now! lol! Since this pizza party in 2020, Boo has gotten a bigger cage and I rehomed Arthur to a calmer home. It's like having toddlers who like pizza and can chew up the house, all the time!

[@Crazybird-3]

Have a Goffin cockatoo I have had for 20 years as of mothers day. She was the best gift I have ever received.

[@TheBirdyBabe]

aww that's so sweet!!!

[@stephanie3848]

I know a Goffin named Boo too

[@shirlspark_stardust]

They enjoying pizza 😋😋Misha don't want any boo trying to drink lol 😁

[@LoriPetersNY]

happy 20 years with Boo. they love their pie.

[@camarokurt]

Love your birds! I have had my Goffin's, 'Ladybird', for almost 23 years now. She was about 10 years old then, so she's now 33 years old. Just last year we added a Green Cheek Conure 'Nibbler' to our family.

[@TheBirdyBabe]

Oh wow! That's great!! They are a lifetime commitment! I would not mind getting an African Grey or Pionus, to be honest... but cockatoos are just intense... like having 3 birds :P

[@davidpocrnich1976]

My cockatoos love watching cockatoo videos...

[@Brett.1984]

I have a solution for aurthur's picking. For my cockatoo i took a sock and cut it about midlength down , then i came up some from the bottom and cut a slit on each side for the wings and its basically a shirt. There is a video on youtube on how exactly to do it but it has helped so much with lilly picking her feathers. I think it would help aurthur. Cute animals btw, thankyou for taking care of them so well.

You must be so exhausted... I'm sure undying Love for Boo keeps you going... Here's an energized everlasting healing hug for you... Long live Love

[@joplinsdrink]

love this video, I have a 7 yo goffin, QBert

[@lic.8544]

Oh no. He wants the paper! Now I want pizza..! What kind of pie?

[@gigiwoodard2661]

What about the other babies

[@TheBirdyBabe]

I got Misha on 2/22/2015 - so a little over 8 years ago 💖💖💖

[@joplinsdrink]

with your 20 yr experience I have a question, diary products I've read are bad for parrots but my QBert , 7 yo goffin, always trys to get to it, I would love to let him have a little. especially the cheese on a pizza

[@TheBirdyBabe]

Rrr! I lost the long comment I just wrote! Basically, cheese and dairy are OKAY in moderation. My guys eat a daily diet of parrot pellets and then when I'm home I eat fairly healthy anyway. Birds do not have the enzymes to digest dairy, so don't feed it all the time... but moderation is fine! It's a "long game" with them. The joy and bonding we get over eating pizza together and not worrying about the cheese on it is worth the watery poop for an hour.... but again, they eat 90% healthy the rest of the time :) I NEVER feed ANY avocado. Avocado can be poison and there is NO WAY to tell which fruit is gonna be fatal. I don't even buy avocado from the grocery store- it's my treat when I'm at my boyfriend's or out (which hasn't happened much).

[@snuder9832]

Makes me sad to see them eating inappropriate food, however you get to celebrate your beautiful birds and long relationship. Kudos to you! They are a ton of work and I love watching from afar.

[@karenelliott8395]

Was that them talking 😁😁😁

[@karenelliott8395]

Doesn't want to share, then someone laughed. 😍😍😍

[@lic.8544]

Could I ask...why did you want a cockatoo so bad in college. Enough to work extra jobs?

[@TheBirdyBabe]

Sorry just now seeing this and getting caught up on old comments. My family was crazy dysfunctional. I wanted unconditional love that wouldn't die like my childhood cat had. I hugged a Moluccan cockatoo at a pet store on a bad day when I was about 16... and my parents got me the magazine Bird Talk and a budgie that they figured I would tire of... so I was hooked!
