![]() So for cold-phobia people like me (and in my defense, the dog isn’t too keen on the snow either), there’s The Pet Loo, an indoor potty for dogs. And at the top of the list is taking my dog out to do his business. Oh winter – there are so many things I don’t like about you. ![]() The Pet Loo makes indoor accidents a thing of the past Photo credit: Ondrej Prosicky/Shutterstock David Dohnal/Shutterstock Loong Kok Wei/Shutterstock They make a great pet for families or singles that want a sociable, entertaining pet in their home.

Social interaction is also required, and your feathery friend will definitely remind you of it. Some of the basics of good care are good hygiene and plenty of exercise. Of course, you will still need to provide a lot of good care and basic attention, in order to minimize any potential threats.

As a pet, they will require a balanced diet, which is easily achieved for cockatoos. They are sometimes seen as pests in certain regions, as they love the corn and yam plantations. In the wild, these corellas thrive on fruits, blossoms, crops, insects, and larvae. This majestic and intriguing feather fan is a mesmerizing sight. The iconic crest of the cockatoos is also a symbol of the Ducorp’s Cockatoo. A small pale blue ring around their black eyes completes this look and presents a simple, yet elegant parrot that can still charm without much difficulty. Their beaks are a mix between white and pale blue, a detail unique for corellas. While this sounds as simple as it can be, they still possess a certain graceful charm, reserved for entirely white birds. The Ducorp’s Cockatoo is no exception, and its looks might leave you wanting a bit more. But still, with a little patience, you can overcome the noise and enjoy the company of your silly friend.Ĭockatoos are perhaps the simplest of all the parrots when it comes to colors. Their version of “talking” is a slurred river of twisted words that sounds silly and is unique to cockatoos. They are very good at mimicking sounds, especially human speech – but they are not talkers. Apartment settings just won’t work due to the loudness. This is one of the things to always keep in mind with cockatoos. While they can be silent for a bit, they can start a loud mix of mimicry and loud talking at the very next moment. ![]() One of the aspects of this goofy behavior is the level of noise. They have a strong will and can burst into a clownish silliness whenever they feel like it. Pay attention to this when purchasing your pet.Ĭockatoos are quite goofy and unpredictable. The iris of males is black-brown, while in females it is light brown. ![]() While almost identical, males and females can still be distinguished by one small detail. This is needed to provide enough space for movement and minimize the risk of obesity and lethargy. Due to their size, an aviary is recommended, or a pretty big and roomy cage. These are robust and big birds and will certainly require a lot of space. The adults reach an average length of 12 inches (31 centimeters) and can weigh up to a pound (420 grams). Still, with the few distinguishing details exclusive for corellas, they offer their own identity and their special charm. One of the relatively bigger breeds, the Ducorp’s Cockatoo still has the same physical aspects as most well-known cockatoos. They thrive in a variety of areas, most of which are dense forests, secondary growth, and local sparse woodland. Thanks to the relative remoteness of their habitat, they suffer no threats and are a species of least concern. Interestingly, they are the only breed of cockatoos in their area, which helps them thrive and breed without much interference. Small populations are also seen on nearby Bougainville island and eastern Papua New Guinea. These peculiar birds are endemic almost exclusively to the Solomon Islands, which gives them another popular nickname – the Solomons Cockatoo.
