Lily

Meet Lily, a 23 year old Goffin's Cockatoo with a gentle soul, playful quirks, and a steadily growing confidence. <br/><br/>Lily continues to settle in nicely in foster care and has been making good progress with stepping up. She has been relatively quiet for a cockatoo, often making small yelpy, bark like sounds and responding when you say "Hi Lily" or "Wave!" That said, she is still very much a cockatoo and does have louder moments, especially at bedtime or when she really wants your company. Because of this, she is not a good fit for homes with shared walls.<br/><br/>She gets around her cage with confidence and speed and is very capable despite her inability to fly. Due to a history of feather plucking and missing flight feathers, she cannot fly and can be a bit wiggly, so a bird safe setup is important. Lily enjoys looking out the window, crunching on cardboard or finger trap toys, and dangling upside down from the top of her cage with both feet, which she does with impressive enthusiasm.<br/><br/>Lily is affectionate in her own way and will lean her head forward to request neck scratches. While she is still working toward fully consistent stepping up, she is clearly building trust and enjoys gentle interaction on her terms. With time, patience, and routine, she has the potential to continue strengthening that bond.<br/><br/>Diet wise, Lily has been eating more Zupreem Natural pellets in addition to the fruit blend and continues to explore fresh foods. Crunchy paper toys and cardboard based enrichment are favorites and help keep her busy and engaged.<br/><br/>Lily would do best with someone who understands the sensitive nature of cockatoos and can provide structure, patience, and consistency. She may have some quirks, but her sweet disposition, playful personality, and ongoing progress make her a truly rewarding companion for the right home.<br/>Adoption Fee: $400
