Casper's Story

Are you a girl's girl? Do you long for the company of a sweet, chatty cockatoo with the food preferences of Paula Dean? Look no further, Casper is your girl! <br/><br/>Casper is a 27-year-old umbrella cockatoo who just wants to hang out and cuddle. Like most girls her age, she is a talker, a conscious objector, and an opinionated dancing queen! She says a few phrases repetitively, calls out to her feathered foster siblings, and talks/sings to herself. When you sneeze, Casper will always be there with a quick "bless you." <br/><br/>Like most cockatoos, she can get loud when she feels ignored or is seeking attention. Because of this, Casper's forever home should not have shared walls. <br/><br/>Casper has a history of hormonal behavior and egg-laying, so it's important that her forever friend or family is informed on best practices for petting, handling, and caring for a hormonal bird. She is also a bit underweight (possibly due to the strain of egg-laying), but her foster family makes sure she has plenty of pellets, supplements, and have been introducing fresh fruits and vegetables to help her "gain and maintain."<br/><br/>This doll craves attention. If you give it, she will take it! She will curl her little "cocka-toes" around your finger and tell you she loves you. Seriously, could she be any cuter? Other hobbies include hanging out on top of her cage and telling you about her day, the weather, and whatever thought passes between her ears. <br/><br/>Casper would do best in a home that dedicates time to her. She really loves being with her person. Could that person be you? Apply to meet Casper today!<br/><br/>Adoption fee: $600
