A Companion Through the Centuries

The Umbrella Cockatoo (Cacatua alba), also called the White Cockatoo, has been a beloved and popular pet for centuries. Their popularity traces back to the seventh century AD, where they were cherished companions in the courts of China’s Tang Dynasty. For Europeans, they became known in the 1700s, brought over from sea voyages. They quickly became a widespread and popular pet bird—a status that remains unchanged. Today, they’re often the stars of viral, charming parrot videos!

We are honored to offer hand-raised Umbrella Cockatoos for sale, continuing this ancient tradition of companionship with one of the world’s most affectionate parrot species.

A Legacy of Affection

For centuries, Umbrella Cockatoos have been valued for their loving and affectionate nature, along with their many unique features. They are the quintessential “velcro bird,” forming bonds so deep they become part of the family for a lifetime—their lifespan of 60-80 years is a true multi-generational commitment.

Why They’ve Been Cherished for 1,400 Years:

• Unmatched Affection: Their desire for physical closeness and cuddling is legendary.

• Intelligent Engagement: They thrive on interaction, play, and mental challenges.

• Stunning Beauty: The majestic, fan-like white crest is instantly recognizable.

• Historical Significance: From imperial courts to modern homes, their role as a companion is timeless.

Available Umbrella Cockatoos

We have hand-raised Umbrella Cockatoo babies available. By choosing a hand-raised bird, you ensure your companion is socialized, confident, and ready to become a loving part of your home’s history.

Modern Responsibilities of a Historic Companion

While their affectionate nature has captivated humans for millennia, modern ownership requires a clear understanding of their profound needs. They are emotionally complex and demanding companions.

Essential Care for a Happy Cockatoo:

1. Time is Love: They require 4-6 hours of direct, interactive time daily. Leaving them alone is contrary to their social nature and leads to distress.

2. Space for Majesty: A large, heavy-duty cage (minimum 36″W x 48″D x 60″H) is non-negotiable for their wellbeing.

3. A Mind at Work: Provide a constant rotation of durable toys, foraging puzzles, and training activities to prevent boredom.

4. A Peaceful Home: They are sensitive to chaos and thrive on routine in a stable, loving environment.

5. A Lifetime Commitment: Their 60+ year lifespan means planning for their care through all stages of your life.
