Due to its unique appearance the Palm cockatoo is popular as a pet. It is also considered to be one of the best talkers of the cockatoos. Like most cockatoos they will need space to fly. They need to be out of their cage for at least two hours a day. They can’t be kept alone for over eight hours a day.
Their diet is rather specific and can be costly. A Few things to consider before buying a Palm Cockatoo; Taking care of an exotic pet requires much thought and preparation. You need to be sure your condo or apartment allows exotic pets. If so, will the noise of a cockatoo annoy your neighbours?
Because they are rare, these birds can be expensive to purchase. Cost is often $15,000 and up. But the initial cost is only the beginning. You’ll need to provide a healthy diet, toys, a large cage or aviary, and visits to an avian veterinarian.
When purchasing an exotic bird make sure you are buying from a dealer who acquired the bird legally. A captured, wild bird will not make a good pet.
Consider adopting a cockatoo from a rescue organisation. Many people buy these birds and then realize they don’t have the resources or time to care for them. These birds often end up in rescues waiting for adoption by a new owner.
