In the shelter’s words
I'm Tucker, a female umbrella cockatoo that hatched in 1993. I've only lived with one family since I was a chick. My human mom passed away about 6 years ago and my human dad has been caring for me since. Now he's been forced to give me up because of his own health problems. I love people and step-up. My dad described me as the sweetest bird in the world. He says giving me up is like "giving up joy." I talk a bit, saying a few phases and Lucca Lucca. Lucca was a Moluccan cockatoo that I used to live with. I use my loud umbrella cockatoo call a few times a day when I want your attention. I eat Harrison's pellets and love sugar snap peas. My human will need to be sure to only pet me above the neck to keep my hormones in check and discourage egg laying. I've had difficulty laying eggs in the past and needed extra calcium supplements prescribed by the board-certified avian veterinarian. If welcoming me into your life sounds like a blessing, please go to "how to adopt" on the website and fill-out an application to adopt me, Tucker!You can see more about me at https://mickaboo.org!
