But in winter or other times of scarcity they can spend most of the day foraging.

When food is abundant Cockatoos may spend only a few hours each day foraging and the rest preening in trees. The Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo eats lots of insects – digging in rotting wood for grubs and larvae. The Glossy Black Cockatoo specializes in She-oaks, grabbing cones in its feet and shredding them to extract the seeds. As well as strong bills they have muscular tongues to manipulate seeds and to de-husk them. Often where the fruits are on the end of small branches that won’t support their weight, Cockatoos will hold branches in their feet and bend them closer.

These are too tough for many birds to access but Cockatoos can crack them open. Other species forage for seeds in the trees – Eucalypts, Banksia and Hakea plants store large supplies of seeds in cones or gumnuts. Western and Long-billed Corellas have longer bills to dig out tubers and roots. Galahs, corellas and some of the black cockatoos mostly feed on the ground, and ground feeders tend to forage in larger flocks. In times of plenty flock sizes are smaller, while in droughts some species can gather in flocks numbering thousands of birds. Cockatoo diet Cockatoos eat seeds, tubers, corns, fruit, flowers and insects. Cockatiels will incubate eggs for around 20 days with larger species such as Glossy Black Cockatoos and Red-tailed Black Cockatoos taking roughly four weeks for incubation and nine weeks until fledgling (around 12 weeks total). Black cockatoo females care for their eggs and nestlings alone, while the work is shared between sexes in other species. Palm Cockatoos and some of the other large species lay a single egg, while smaller species lay between two and eight. Some like Gang Gang Cockatoos are relatively quiet, while the Palm Cockatoos will also drum on dead branches with sticks to communicate over distances. Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo has up to 15 different calls, whereas others have less. Their harsh squawking vocals and the number of different calls varies by species. These noisy birds often feed in large flocks, making their unmistakable presence known (except for glossies – they tend to feed in pairs, trios of mum, dad and fledgling, or small family units). They are diurnal (active in the day), need light to find their food and aren’t early risers, tending to wait until there’s warmth in the sun before feeding. Their movable headcrest is raised when the birds are landing from flight or aroused.2 Like other parrots, cockatoos also have short legs and a waddling gait. They also share with us a tendency to have a preferred foot (most will use their left foot to grip food when they eat). Happy to have a discussion with any interested prospective new owners, please send a message with your phone number and I am happy to call or text you around my work shifts.Cockatoo behaviour In captivity cockatoos can live as long as humans. You will need a NSPWS licence to take him home. I love him dearly, and would love him to go to a lovely home, where he will be nurtured and accepted for his wonderful self in all his glory! However with me returning to work, it’s not something I can control and he would rather someone home 99% of the time. He is extremely gentle, loves his food and nuts and this would not be an issue if our neighbours weren’t complaining. In our old house he was perfect inside, we downsized and I can’t fit him and his cage inside. I have tried everything I can do to try and keep him as quiet as possible, however with work, I just can’t seem to make it work. He is a typical Black Cockatoo and the one and only reason for his rehoming is due to complaints from neighbours as in our new house he has to be outside and we have a rather close backyard to the neighbours house

He has full flight, is happy to be in or out of his cage. He was hand raised by me / breeder and unfortunately needs to go to a new home where someone can dedicate all the time in the world to him.
