Album Info:
"The Moluccan Cockatoo can no longer be imported into the United States because it is listed on the Wild Bird Conservation Act. However, they are being bred in captivity. Potential owners should be fully aware of the husbandry requirements of the species. The Moluccan Cockatoo is widely considered to be the most demanding parrot to keep as a pet. A typical Moluccan Cockatoo needs around eight hours of daily attention from its caregiver to keep it happy. As with most large cockatoos, the Moluccan Cockatoo develops health and behavioral problems such as feather-plucking and aggression if not provided with the appropriate environment, attention, and enrichment opportunities."

Thank you for putting this information about cockatoos here under your photo... It is not just the Moluccan that demands attention of 8 or more hours but all cockatoos... They are a very needy pet and don't forget that with proper nutrition, they can live to be as old as 80 years of age... They are four year olds forever but very loving companions but any perspective owner has to be willing to put in the time...for life!!!
