I am Anja ,Harley's owner . Harley born in july 2008 (Netherlands) We have had our whole life birds (smaller ones agrapornissen , cockatiels and canary's ) But our dream was always to have a cockatoo ... so we read a lot about what it is having a cockatoo the positives things but more important the negative things.. Most people forget this .... they are very loud , make very much dust , a lot of mess , destroy everything they got in their beak ... so we take a year to get all the + and the - in our head .. before we say yes .It is daily hard working, cost mommy very much energy to raise me from baby to what i am today ... i take a lot of her time i am never when mom is at home in my cage i have all the freedom to play and be a naughty ,funny and cute girl :) A PARROT IS A LIFETIME COMMITMENT AND NO TOY !!! SO THINK very Very very long BEFORE YOU SAY I WANT ONE . They are not All Harley's !! and have their own character!!!!!!
