This Parrot STOLE MY ❤️!

My friend Nick is awesome - he owns a yummy Mexican restaurant called Mole here in our West Palm/Wellington area. Better still, Nick also loves parrots and has a flock.
Well, Nick added an INCREDIBLE Moluccan Cockatoo to his flock and I got to meet him tonight at Nick's restaurant.
I"M IN LOVE!
This is not a "normal" Moluccan. Nikko is a very calm, mellow and affectionate bird.
Typically Moluccan Cockatoos are:
Moluccan Cockatoos, also known as Salmon-crested Cockatoos, are known for their vibrant personalities and social nature. Here are some general characteristics of their temperament:
1. *Social and Affectionate:* Moluccans are highly social birds that thrive on interaction and companionship. They form strong bonds with their human caregivers and may seek attention and affection.
2. *Playful and Energetic:* These cockatoos are energetic and enjoy playing. Providing them with toys, puzzles, and mental stimulation is important to keep them entertained and prevent boredom.
3. *Vocal:* Moluccan Cockatoos are known for their loud vocalizations. They can mimic sounds and words, but their calls can be quite loud. Potential owners should be prepared for the noise level associated with this species.
4. *Intelligent:* Cockatoos, including Moluccans, are intelligent birds. They benefit from mental stimulation, including puzzle toys and activities that engage their problem-solving skills.
5. *Cuddly and Affectionate:* Moluccans are often described as cuddly birds that enjoy physical contact with their owners. They may seek head scratches, cuddling, and other forms of affection.
6. *Sensitive:* Moluccan Cockatoos are known to be sensitive birds. Changes in their environment or routine can affect their well-being. Providing a stable and secure environment is important for their emotional health.
7. *Potential for Behavioral Issues:* Like many cockatoos, Moluccans may develop behavioral issues such as feather plucking or excessive vocalizations if they are not provided with enough mental stimulation, social interaction, and a proper environment.
It's important to note that individual birds may vary in temperament, and their behavior can be influenced by factors such as upbringing, socialization, and the environment they are in. Additionally, potential owners should be aware of the long lifespan of Moluccan Cockatoos and the commitment required to meet their social and emotional needs.
What a joy and pleasure to get to hang out with Nikko. An extraordinary and unusual bird!

I have been resarching about Moluccans for almost half a decade and without a doubt they are toughest of all companion parrot to keep happy. But my god, who can resist these charming balls of cloud.

I agree! I don't see Maluccans for sale very often - my friend hit the jackpot! Nikko is a dream, and I'm in love with him! Gorgoues feathers, great personality...

[@adityavaibhav4941]

@@ParrotBliss Yes! So many of them are in shelters that breeders are refraining from breeding them. But you do see them time to time. But i hope they remain part of the hobby, even in small numbers.
