Peanut is an older sweetheart. He is a 38 year old Goffins Cockatoo with a darling disposition. He loves to get kisses either on his head or beak, and is very easy-going for a cockatoo. He seeks out scratches and interaction, and warms up pretty quickly to those who are kind to him. He is friendly with nearly anyone who interacts with him.

He is still learning to step up, but loves to fly to his foster mom's shoulder. He is an excellent flyer. He loves to keep active climbing all around his cage and perches. He shows excitement by jumping up and down, and dances to music sometimes by doing the same. He doesn't seem to have any words, but makes some very endearing sounds when he's happy or showing affection. While he doesn't step up yet, when it's time to go to bed or into his cage, his foster mom just says to him to go there and he does without issue!

Peanut is by no means an incredibly loud bird, but can squawk when he wants attention. He has done fine sharing a room with another foster bird, but seems to prefer to be alone. He may do best in a family where he is the only bird, but as long as he has his own space, he could share a house with another. He had an all pellet diet when he came into his foster home, but seems open to a lot of vegetables, with a preference for steamed carrots.

Peanut has shown no aggression or concerning behaviors in his foster home, and would make a wonderful addition to the right family!

Peanut has been testing for Chlamydia and PBFD.
