Post: Cockatoo Stomping? Aggression, Fear or Happy?

Posted by Brian on 11/07/06

Hi,

Would like to know of this behaviour. I have been doing my
homework on the Internet and have seen many different
responses to this behaviour.
I believe with my bird it's fear or possibly territorial.
He is new to our home, although very content, does not
have a desire to bite unless getting too close for his
comfort, but he is getting better with that too. He is
gaining our trust. He is a 16 year old (not 46 as
previously posted) rescue bird and we have also changed
his name, thinking possibly he would do better Not to
relate to his past name.
I really like this forum as there is alot of very good
information here. I actually read through this forum
entirely before deciding to acquire a Cockatoo, formerly a
Macaw owner.

Thanks, Brian
