Cockatoo’s are HUGE personality birdies, with a LOT of vocal capabilities. They pick who they love and who their partner will be throughout their life. They are basically like owning a child for the rest of your life and often outlive their owners as their lifespan can be 70+ years. Unfortunately, Snow had an amazing family for the first 13 years of her life when she went through that loss. Suddenly she had no family and found herself waiting for a new family, mourning her losses. She’d had a fellow feathered sibling who she was separated from and she quickly shut down. After being picked to go home with the founders of Melt My Heart she quickly took to being a cuddle bug, followed by feeling comfortable enough to show off her vocals and sometimes bossiness. She would get possessive sometimes of the humans, but she was working on her manners every day. She learned to like a new healthy diet and fresh chop, but definitely retained her love for unhealthy foods too. Snow once was riding in the car and recognized that the humans had stopped at one of those “drive through places” and when she realized these humans were unaware of the pact her previous family had with her, she let them hear it! Didn’t the know she was to ALWAYS get a French fry from a drive through?? Well she sure let them know! She also has a love of a piece of macaroni. I guess every’birdy’ has to have their vices, right? After a long wait looking for an experienced owner, who would also ensure that if anything were to happen she’d have the rescue as a backup and fellow family members to care for her, she finally found her match. A lovely woman came to visit her and instead of her normal standoffish self she was immediately all over and cuddling her and cooing. The adoption proceeded later on and Snow has had a happily ever after since!
