Talk to your family about responsibilities. Cockatoo is a great pet but requires a lot of care. You can’t just leave it in the cage all day and just feed it. You have to spend time playing with it every day. Talk to your family about whether such a demanding pet is what you want.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4d/Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-2-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Live- With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-2-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4d/Live-With-a-Mpuccan- Cockatoo-Step-2-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-2-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Cockatoo is a wild animal. Although the Cockatoo has been bred as a pet, it is not a domesticated animal. They possess many traits of wild birds.
- You will see normal parrot behaviors such as screaming, biting wood and paper, and throwing food indiscriminately.
- Experienced parrot owners will know how to best care for their cockatoo, how to deal with its loud noises and powerful bites.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f4/Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-3-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Live- With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-3-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f4/Live-With-a-Mpuccan- Cockatoo-Step-3-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-3-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Make sure you can deal with the Cockatoo calls. The Cockatoo is one of the noisiest parrot breeds. The chirp’s decibels are 135, which is close to the noise of a 747 jet. Cockatoo parrots are not a good choice if there are people in the house who can’t stand noise, like young children. You should also choose a different breed of parrot if you live in a noise-sensitive area, such as an apartment building.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e3/Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-4-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Live- With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-4-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e3/Live-With-a-Mpuccan- Cockatoo-Step-4-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-4-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Remember the cockatoo will live with you for a long time. Cockatoo parrots live very long, even close to humans. This means it won’t go away after 10 or 15 years like a dog or cat. You can live with Cockatoo parrots over 30 years. [1] X Research Source
- Don’t buy a cockatoo thinking you can sell it if you get bored. Cockatoo is a highly social animal and is very attached to humans.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c0/Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-5-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Live- With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-5-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c0/Live-With-a-Mpuccan- Cockatoo-Step-5-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-5-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Determine if you can afford it. The cost of raising Cockatoo parrots is relatively high, even if you do not have to invest too much at first. Cockatoo prices vary by region, but the annual cost of raising a Cockatoo can be quite high, at least $1,000 (in the US). You will have to pay for food, cages, cleaning supplies, and veterinary visits.
- Don’t keep a Cockatoo if you don’t have the money to properly care for it.
Dealing with the Cockatoo’s Personality
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/66/Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-6-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Live- With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-6-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/66/Live-With-a-Mpuccan- Cockatoo-Step-6-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-6-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Cockatoo likes to mess around indiscriminately. They have a habit of messing around the cage. Cockatoo parrots need many toys to gnaw and pass the time, and toys after being bitten will be scattered everywhere. They also have a tendency to throw food and may drop it on the floor. Wood chips, dust, seed pods, crushed food, paper or bird droppings will often be scattered around the cage.
- You can use a hand-held vacuum to clean the debris thrown out of the cage every day.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2b/Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-7-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Live- With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2b/Live-With-a-Mpuccan- Cockatoo-Step-7-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Be prepared to accept dust. Cockatoo parrots create a lot of dust that flies around the house. Dust, also known as chalk dust, is actually fine hairs that are broken off and attached to the bird’s body, eventually flying around the house. Therefore, you need to use a vacuum cleaner or have to clean every day if you want to keep Cockatoo parrots.
- If you have allergies or asthma, the Cockatoo is not the right animal for you.
- Placing an air purifier near your cockatoo can help clean the air.

Prevent parrot bites. Cockatoo loves to bite everything. When you let it out, always keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t bite into the furniture. They can bite shoes, clothes and furniture.
- Providing a toy for the parrot to bite can limit this, but it also won’t solve the problem. You should monitor closely every time you release your cockatoo from the cage.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/ce/Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Live- With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/ce/Live-With-a-Mpuccan- Cockatoo-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
The cockatoo is a noisy and demanding parrot. Cockatoo is a noisy bird and often calls incessantly. Although they can learn to talk, they don’t talk as much as other breeds, often just vocalizing. They have many needs and are very clingy, and will scream loudly if bored or uninterested.
Provide suitable living environment
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a7/Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Live- With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a7/Live-With-a-Mpuccan- Cockatoo-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Buy a large cage. Cockatoo is a large parrot, so you need to buy a large cage. Make sure the cage has enough space for the parrot to fly around, exercise and have fun. [2] X Research Source
- The cage should be at least 75 cm wide and 120 cm long, or wide enough for the bird to reach its full wingspan in all directions.
- The cage has a solid structure. Since the cockatoo loves to bite, it can easily destroy the plastic cage. Therefore, you need to buy a stainless steel cage.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/dc/Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Live- With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/dc/Live-With-a-Mpuccan- Cockatoo-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Mpuccan cockatoo needs to be kept separately. Cockatoo is very aggressive towards other birds, the bite force is very strong and can kill birds in the same cage with it. Although the cockatoo is a highly social species, it is best to keep it in a separate cage and do not try to keep it with other birds.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c0/Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Live- With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c0/Live-With-a-Mpuccan- Cockatoo-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Spend a lot of time playing with Cockatoo parrots. Cockatoos love interaction, which means they want to spend a lot of time playing with humans. If you are often away from home or don’t have much time to play with your parrot, it will chirp very loudly, become depressed or become destructive. Try to play with your cockatoo for at least a few hours a day so it doesn’t get lonely. [3] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4b/Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-13-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Live- With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-13-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4b/Live-With-a-Mpuccan- Cockatoo-Step-13-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-13-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Place the cage in a place where there is a lot of traffic. Cockatoo parrots want to feel part of the family. Therefore, you should put the cage in a room where people often live. This will help calm the parrot and reduce the risk of depression. [4] X Research Sources
- For example, when seeing people in the room, the parrot will play comfortably in the cage, on the contrary, when there is no person in the room, the parrot will cry loudly, feel stressed and start plucking on its own.
- Do not place the cage in the kitchen as the smoke from cooking will harm the parrot.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/99/Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-14-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Live- With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-14-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/99/Live-With-a-Mpuccan- Cockatoo-Step-14-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-14-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Place mats under and around the cage. Since cockatoos are messy, it’s a good idea to purchase replaceable pads and line them around the cage. You can use any type of paper, like newspaper, tissue, or paper bags. Lining paper also helps you check the quality of bird droppings.
- For extra protection, you can use sand to line the birdhouse and newspaper pellets. Never use wood chips or shavings as it is toxic to birds.
- You can also protect the floor and the area around the cage by placing mats underneath. Rubber pads are a good choice because you can wash them very easily.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/42/Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-15-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Live- With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-15-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/42/Live-With-a-Mpuccan- Cockatoo-Step-15-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-15-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Offers a variety of toys. Cockatoo parrots need to be entertained, especially when they are left alone in a cage. Provide plenty of toys to keep their bodies and minds busy. Ropes, swings, food toys, chew toys, and brightly colored toys are good options.
- Put in the cage a lot of things to gnaw because Cockatoo parrots like to gnaw. You can buy commercial toys or make your own toys out of cardboard and bird-safe wood.
- Foraging toys are a good idea. Cockatoo parrots have a habit of hunting for food in the wild, so you can provide a toy so that they have to find food from that toy.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a3/Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Live- With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a3/Live-With-a-Mpuccan- Cockatoo-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Spend time playing with your parrot every day. Cockatoo parrots love to play with humans every day. If they are not interacted regularly, they will become neurotic and pluck their own feathers to relieve stress. Take your Cockatoo out every day and talk to it. [5] X Research Sources
- Some children like to sit on your feet while you watch TV or work at the computer.
- Spend time playing with your parrot to give it a chance to exercise, such as playing a game of throwing objects for the parrot to pick up.
- Make sure the space is safe before letting your parrot out. Doors and windows should be closed, other pets should be confined, electrical cords covered, and anything that could be harmful to the parrot is removed.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5a/Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Live- With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5a/Live-With-a-Mpuccan- Cockatoo-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Live-With-a-Mpuccan-Cockatoo-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Do not let the parrot sit on your shoulder or walk on the ground. Cockatoo can bite your face if you let it stand on your shoulder. If you let your parrot walk on the ground, they will see it as their territory and can become aggressive towards anyone who comes across. To limit aggressive behavior, you should not let your parrot stand on your shoulder or walk on the ground.

Installation of terrain sports houses. A great way to play with your Cockatoo out of a cage is to put it in a playhouse or toy house. Install this house in any room where people often live. Cockatoo parrots will love because they can play near people. [6] X Research Sources
