When I was a kid, we had a CAG, he was untamed, he will scream at anyone comes close to the cage but after 6 months he turned out to be so lovable, sweet, cuddly, playful and very talkative, he spent 6 years with us and then his original owner came to claim him so since then we didn’t have any grey in the house, I’ve got a lovable Cockatoo that she kept me busy as I grew up with her. Recently we’ve decided to adopt a 3 months and half old CAG, he would still bite but I taught him that hands don’t harm him so now he became really nice and I’ve weaned him in few days of his arrival as he didn’t want to eat baby food from the bottle anymore. And one day, I went to a pet shop looking for a Cockatoo to keep my girly-too company and found this poor Timneh, mistreated, living miserably and no one will buy him, he is probably a year or two old, untamed, scared of people and the shop clerk was pulling him from his leg or tail which made me go really mad, at the end I bought him for only $160 as the pet owner wanted to get rid of him. I went and bought for the Timneh (who is called Sukar-Sukar now) a huge cage, filled with toys and mineral perches, well I put it in a way that it doesn’t scare him and placed his cage with his other roommates in a warm cozy guest room, but he still scream whenever he sees my hand, I am trying to make him feel comfy all I could, giving him fresh food and seeds, but he won’t eat unless we are away, I am just praying he will come around and trust me, and I know it takes a long time but I just want him to be happy, I wanted to save him from that place..
My CAG CriCri he doesn’t get along with TAG Sukar and a lot of time they fight but try to keep them apart as much as I can, the thing is my CriCri sneak into his cage, and my Cockatoo likes to visit too but she is not aggressive she is very friendly and curious..
