Spa Day! 😌🚿 *please read description for important info!*

Gotcha the Moluccan Cockatoo.
Follow Gotcha on Instagram!: / gotcha_the_cockatoo
I use organic coconut oil for the skin on his beak and for dry flaky feet.
❗please keep in mind that I blow dry him with WARM-COOL air to start when he's completely soaked, then move to COOL air from a PTFE free (Teflon free) hair dryer ONLY to finish❗️
For those unaware, air from a hair dryer that is too warm or on the hot setting can severely dry out and/or burn the sensitive skin around the eyes, beak, and body of parrots. And can cause dry damage to their nasal cavities.
PTFE is short for polytetrafluoroethylene which is LETHAL to parrots.
It is the Same chemical compound found in Teflon nonstick pans that are used in some kitchens.
Teflon releases a toxic gas/fumes in the air that has caused so many deaths in parrots, it is an excruciatingly, horrendous, and painful death to birds and can be 100% avoided!!
This is why I stress to do your research when it comes to adopting.
There are so many things that parrots can and CANNOT have and things that can kill them horribly in seconds.
Please Educate yourself, and know the facts before you consider adopting parrots💗💜💙❤️💛💚
Thanks for watching! 💙
❗️❗️❗️85% of parrots are either resold, given away, or abandoned within just 2 short years of being purchased.
I cannot stress enough how heartbreaking this sad truth is.... Too many people impulse buy parrots because of cute or funny traits they'vet seen in other birds.
A life stuck in a cage is cruel and so unfair to these magnificent beautiful creatures.
They deserve the absolute best!
So if you are interested in a parrot, adopt one because you have the time and energy and if you want to save them from a life stuck behind bars, not solely because they are cute or funny etc.
parrots are a LIFETIME commitment. They can live up to 80+ years!!
I've given up many many things the to give my two parrots the best life they can possibly have!
Please do your research before adopting.
After all, we have our friends, our jobs, and our hobbies.
They only have us💗❗️❗️

Gotcha The Cockatoo Only a year and a half, and still he is that trustworthy. Well, i guess you have spent a lot of time, still. I've heard they are difficult to train. I really want a bird too, but i refrain from it, because i know how much effort it would cost and i do not have the excess energy it would require at this time in my life. And i would want a part outside and inside aviary for them. I would want nothing less.

[@GotchaBird]

+123TauruZ321 good for you!!! They are so much work. I feel very blessed with gotcha, I've heard of it taking many many years to establish a strong bond like the one we share.

[@e.conboy4286]

Attention dimwits who put thumbs down: you might have major trust issues and envy others who are capable of sharing their feelings with humans and animals. I would like to remind you that L O V E is a four letter word. Do you see the cockatoo coming to its people and chattering to them and answering in its own language? It’s a very happy bird! Did you know that birds are capable of expressing most of the emotions we humans do. This provides an opportunity to learn more about the relationships we can experience with dogs, cats, cows, horses, pigs, hamsters and a multitude or other amazing creatures. The cockatoo wouldn’t be alive now in the wilds of the birds’ origin, larger animals and birds kill the cockatoos, and cruel people hunt them for their beautiful feathers This family is licensed to care and provide a loving home for cockatoos. And they love their children very much. Thanks for watching. MAMA

[@RibbinOpinion]

I watch these vicariously. I would LOVE to get a cockatoo, but it's just not the right pet for me at this time. Maybe when I have more downtime in my older years, I will adopt one. You cannot get a bird like this and take it lightly, as she said in her description. When I worked at Petco, long ago when they could still sell big birds, the cockatoos and amazon's were always purchased for spoiled children and brought back 2 months later because the people that bought them had no idea the amount of work that came with them. Broke my heart to see a cockatoo I had named 'Baby Love' brought back a total of 4 times before he found his forever home with a little hippie gal (he was "my" bird at the store, always calmed down with me, loved me, hung out with me, etc.). She still has him to this day and he's spoiled rotten! But she would come in after and visit me with him until I moved away, and he was always so happy to see me. Good little birb.
