About

This blog will be used as a scrapbook/journal to track what I hope will be a successful, loving, and healthy companionship with my umbrella cockatoo, Cosmo. I will try my best to make daily posts describing my interactions with him and his progress as he matures from a seven month-old baby bird into what I hope will be a healthy, well-socialized adult bird. I have done hours upon hours of research on umbrella cockatoos, and whether that time pays off or not, Cosmo will have a forever home with me.

A huge thanks to Steftron, my epic big sister, for taking me to see Cosmo in the first place and helping me start the long journey that is living with an umbrella cockatoo.

Another huge thanks to my parents for supporting me, both financially and in morale, as I saved up for and studied umbrella cockatoos. Thanks for letting me visit Birds Unlimited to meet the baby cockatoos.

And finally, thank you to all responsible and knowledgeable cockatoo owners on MyToos and other websites who aid people in learning how to meet the needs and wants of this amazing animal.

Taken on Monday, May 20th, 2013, at around 5:14 PM. Let us take a moment to acknowledge how weird cockatoo tongues (and their mouths in general) are.

One day I’m going to get a good picture of Cosmo’s tongue so my followers and I can all point in horror together. Seriously, you never know how weird they are until one day you blow air in your parrot’s beak and a Resident Evil monster comes out.
