We think Bonk is a girl. What she lacks in appearance, she makes up for with a huge personality. Although she has shown improvement with her feather barbering, she has a few areas that might have permanent follicle damage. Bonk has a big vocabulary for a cockatoo. She says "I'm an eagle", and "Bonka-Bird", meows like a cat, and makes a variety of cute noises and whistles. She even tries to sing along with the radio sometimes. She seems to be a happy bird, and only has occasional screaming outbursts like a typical cockatoo. She is a very good eater especially if it's warm and soft. The only downfall is that she does not like men and will go out of her way to bite them if she can. Bonk tends to be a one-person bird picking a female as her one and only to love to cuddle with. She is a little bossy with other birds, but doesn not seem outright agressive toward them. Vet results: Normal

Reubon is a 5 year Umbrella cockatoo who spent his entire life in a pet store from Southern Utah. He is a very active and playful bird but tends to nip and bite when he doesn't get his way.

He does has some plucking issues that we're trying to resolve while in rescue, however, there's a possibility that his feathers may not grow back. He does talk, says "Hello!, I'm a naughty bird" and various other things. He has responded well to positive reinforcement training and seems to understand the concept.

Pandora is a total sweetheart and a very lovable bird with a whole lot of personality! She has a large vocabulary and uses it often. While in rescue, we've heard her ask "whatcha doin Pandora? Are you ok?" Good bird" and she'll whistle the theme song to the Addam's Family while she dances to the tune. While she does pluck, she's been known to refeather and then pluck again. In the right environment, we're pretty confident she'll stop plucking her feathers. Pandora is an avid forager and loves to search her cage for food.
