Say hello to Charlie 🌟
At 22 years young, this Umbrella Cockatoo is proof that parrots are the ultimate companions. Charlie is a total extrovert. Whether he’s out on an adventure in his harness, stepping up to greet new friends, or bopping along to his favourite fitness tracks, he’s always the centre of attention. He also loves nothing more than a screaming match with a group of excited children!
Charlie’s friendly nature is a testament to great socialisation. Here’s why his lifestyle is so beneficial:
🌳 Harness training a bird takes immense patience. Taking Charlie out allows him to experience new sights and smells, which prevents the boredom-related behaviours (like feather plucking) that intelligent species can develop.
🦜 The fact that he’ll step up for anyone shows a high level of confidence. It’s a vital safety command for any bird owner.
📢 Cockatoos need to be loud. Providing them with screaming sessions is actually a great way to let them vent energy in a positive way.
We love a bird with a big voice! We offer specialised exotic bird cover designed to protect social stars like Charlie, ensuring they stay fit, healthy, and dancing for another 20+ years.
