Major Mitchell Cockatoo

Major Mitchell cockatoo are undoubtedly some of the most beautiful birds around, with their colorful appearance resembling that of their rose-breasted cousins. These majestic birds make great additions to aviaries and parks, but it’s important to note that they can come along with some challenges.

One thing to keep in mind is that these cockatoos can be difficult to adopt due to their potentially aggressive behavior, particularly among males. Additionally, their loud screeches could pose an issue with your neighbors. However, if you’ve decided to welcome these stunning birds into your life, we’ve compiled some essential facts to get you started.

Housing is a crucial aspect of your bird’s well-being. Make sure to provide them with the biggest possible cage with a sturdy lock, allowing them to stretch their wings and engage in physical activities. It’s also recommended that they spend some time in an outdoor cage daily to enjoy the fresh air. A wooden nest box sized 18 x 18 x 24 inches can be placed inside the cage as well.

Major Mitchell cockatoo can be temperamental and prefer to spend most of their time alone, but they can quickly form a bond with their owners. They tend to get possessive of their masters and may not appreciate interactions with other family members. Socialization with all members of the household is crucial to form a bond, and lack of attention could make them hostile and nippy. With proper training, your hand-raised cockatoo will pick up on your mood as well. They enjoy spending time with chewable toys, which is one of their favorite pastimes.

Feeding your cockatoo fresh fruits and veggies, along with a formulated diet and the occasional treat of nuts and seeds, is recommended. Vitamin supplements may be necessary if you’re not providing them with a formulated diet. Avoid giving them highly fatty foods.

Caring for your bird requires a significant amount of attention and time. Prevent boredom as this may lead to destructive behavior. Interaction with your bird is vital, and although they may not be the best mimickers or talkers, they will reciprocate your actions in the best way possible. Regular bathing and clipping of the primary flight feathers are important as well.

if you’re considering adding a Major Mitchell cockatoo to your life, keep in mind that they require a significant amount of care and attention. But with proper housing, behavior training, and feeding, these beautiful birds can make sensational pets.
