The ultimate lifeform.

[@Shaggy-lu6dz]

omg i just found out about these black palms and i have to say they are an insanely beautiful species of birds.

[@darladixonmarketing49]

+Shaggy420 I agree. They're pretty rare. I recently held one while helping Brenda of parrotproshows.com at a school event. I was a bit intimidated by that powerful beak, but I knew not to show it and just stay calm. Well, that was the best bird of the bunch (in my opinion), just a very cool fellow and not mean in the least!

[@nickierainbow]

Hi! This is a gorgeous cockatoo! I just got a jenday conure yesterday. When i talk to him, he gets close to me and "answers" me with a playful squawk, puffing his feathers and chirping. When i want him to step up, he bites. I dont pull away and he usually ends up stepping up after me insisting and not reacting to the bite. When he steps up, i praise him with lots of "good Kiwiiiii". Do you have any other tips to make me gain his trust more easily? Would you recommend a glove until he gets used to my hand? His bite is not very painful, a tiny bit of blood and bruising but im so used to it. Its just not pleasant, and i would like him to eventually be nice to friends and family once he trusts me.

[@nickierainbow]

Update: hes doing extremely good. Hes already very bonded to me. Mext step is to get used to stepping up on other peoples hand! He did it a couple times already! Hes cuddly, playful and loves when i sing to him.

No, we have two males and would breed but females are harder to come by. We have the only two we have seen. This one might be breed-able but other is older and may be too much of a pet to want to breed. Would love to have a female.

Why dnt ppl understand that if a bird is bred in captivity it will not survive in the wild!! A wild bird will know where to find water n food.. a captive bird will look for a water bowl 😞

[@eleutheria1058]

me chloe, I know. This bird would also be caught by a natural predator so easily, and so many other survival skills it's lacking. No wild creature captive raised can just be dumped off in their natural habitat. Anger should be directed at those who capture them from the wild in the first place.

[@Cuposad]

@Richard E. Miranda Jr. huh? That is completely besides the point of the comment lol, are you just looking for something to criticize?

[@andyC95]

What are you even talking about? "Most" people know they cant survive, which is why people dont release them. They can be bred in captivity and released and survive, just not raised. Me personally I'm all for breeding beautiful animals like this and making them pets if it can be done and them still be happy because then that means they'll never go extinct by poaching. I just cant stand genetically modifying animals to be pets, which is why I dont have a dog or cat.

[@chiron9690]

Really sad to see the Palm cockatoo with a human rather than its natural habitat flourishing & happy with its mates. They live anywhere btwn 50 - 90 years . For this one these years will be in captivity. So will be more in the hands of breeders. They just alter the natural behaviour of these birds over the years of captivity & breeding.

[@wingmanjim6]

I guess you don't approve of dogs and cats as pets either ?

[@dr.godfreylambwell2260]

It is illegal to release bred animals into the wild. They should be in the wild, but unfortunately people have taken many parrots from the wild and bred them. Birds that come from generations of captivity cannot survive in the wild. Captive parrots being cared for by professionals is actually good for their conservation. Hopefully we see the wild palm cockatoo population increase a lot. But for now, this bird and many others cannot be released into the wild, and so they should be given full care and proper treatment.

[@avianevents]

Arrogant a**. What have you done for the species. Have you ever contributed a penny to their well-being or done anything to help them. This is a 40-year hobby for me and in the end I don't make a penny on it. I am lead tech for a commercial Heating and Air company. One of the best tech's in the state of Georgia. That is how I make my money. This is a hand fed baby if you put it in the wild it will die. What give you the right to decide what happens to them after you destroy their world. I live in a world of ignorant people who watch a PBS special and think they know something after watching that one sided nonsense.

[@Cuposad]

Did you know that their natural habitat is being destroyed? There's a REASON a lot of these birds are bred in captivity, in order to increase their population to prevent extinction you have to keep them in captivity first.

[@shaneo5436]

I hope I'm wrong but It is extremely likely that this bird was poached from the wild and cruelly transported around the world because they don't breed well in the wild and are so hard for zoos and sanctuaries to breed that they wouldn't trade them out. Any backyard private breeder is a liar. When you see them in the wild you would never wish this.

[@avianevents]

This is a domestic hand fed baby. I trained thousands of wild caught birds it the 70s and 80s. I know the difference. Backyard breeders as you call them do some of the best work in the world, just like the American farmers. You are just arrogant ass that has watched and belived too many tv specials .

[@shaneo5436]

Avian Events, LLC So you're saying a backyard breeder produced this egg and hatched it? If so, these breeders would of had to of had a pair that not only mate for life but do it only after they have been together for an adequate period with adequate surroundings that can't be produced in any backyard environment? I don't care if it was taken as an egg. It was still taken illegally

[@avianevents]

+Shane Western I should have never replied to you. You can't win a conversation with a idiot and you can't fix stupid. I am a state inspected facility and would never have anything illegal. You sound like some PETA idiot. Go away.

[@mariasindile9647]

I have to agree with Patriot here. It's definitely not safer. It makes him more dependant of you but doesn't allow him to escape a predator if need be. That is, unless you have a huge aviary he is outside in.

[@Cuposad]

@Patriot Jefferson That depends on the environment though. You can't just assume the bird is out in the open without any sort of protection. Why not allow the bird to live closely to how it would if it was wild? Many places have giant aviaries that allow birds to roam freely but also stay safe
