Tree Branches: Leafy live branches from non-toxic native trees and shrubs can be placed into the aviary for the birds to chew. Seed, soaked or sprouted seed: We suggest seeds & soaked or sprouted seed for successful breeding. To breed Cockatoo, you will need to acquire a true pair and identify the sex of your birds before you set them up. However they will still be dependent for another two to three weeks before ready leave the nest for good.
Hatching take between 60 and 100 days to become fully plumed and at that time they will begin to explore outside of the nest. The young are naked and blind when hatched and don't open their eyes for several weeks. Brooding, depending on which species is between 25 to 30 days. The cockatoo female will lay between 2 to 3 eggs. Sometimes with the Bare-eyed and the Mollucan you can only be certain if you have them sexed by DNA test, or a chromosomal analysis. The Mollucan is basically the same except the female iris is dark brown so it can be difficult to distinguish from the slightly darker iris of the male.īoth sexes of the bare-eyed cockatoo have the dark iris, but the male is a larger bird and the female has more feathering around the eye than the male. The lesser sulphur-crested, greater sulphur-crested, umbrella, Goffin's, rose-breasted and Philippine cockatoos have a red-brown, brown, or chestnut-brown iris in the female after about two years of age. You can expect a healthy Cockatoo to live around 40-60 years or even longer with good nutrition and care. Cockatoos are very loving, affectionate birds, they are known for their personalities, Cockatoos aren't top talkers. Most of the cockatoos are about 12 - 13 inch long. Their origin is Australia and the surrounding islands. Most are colored mainly in white, but others come in grays and pinks, blacks, and in the Palm's case, deep blue. There are 21 species of cockatoos, most of which are in the genus.
