I'm very suprised at my new Cockatoo I was expecting a bird that screamed constantly and need constant attention. I think he has been very well trained as he will play for hours in his cage with his toys I go in every hour or so to say hello he love to show off and show me what hés playing with likes to have someone watch  him play. he doe have a little screaming sestion first thing in the morning like all birds and every now and then Fergie and him have  a couple of contact calls.  other than that he's pretty good at entertaining himself . When he is out of his cage its a bit different he likes to walk around and won't stay on his play stand so I'm definatly going to have to be persistant to make him stay on his Play stand I don't like him wandering. Anybody got any Ideas how to make him stay. I been doing some research on Cockatoos but could sure use some advice from a few Cockatoo owners I don't want to betry the trust we are biulding. I already love him to peices and I've only had him for 2 day what a wonderful bird    Pat
