Yes but they do tell you the risks of owning the birds.. and while
seeing that site.. I dont understand how some can breed cockatoos
or birds that are most abused and "past" home to home, abused
abused, misunderstood musunderstood.... I mean.. those could be
your chicks that you hand raise! Bringing up life when it'll just
be abused.. more people dont know much about th eneeds for a
cockatoo and buy one anyway and sever good yrs later their good
times are up and the cockatoo has issues and they sell or give
them away... just remmeber you are causing th eproblem by selling
to people.. I'd only breed if I knew A LOT about the person wh is
buyin gthe animal or teach the person about these big birds and
inform them of the site mytoos.com and make them read and see
EVERYTHIGN on that site before selling my bird to them... and its
just EVIL to breed only to make money >:(
