Re: Wanted: a cockatoo handicapped or not
Posted by Jen on 4/13/07

I'm no expert on Macaws.. so I may be wrong. But I always
heard that Macaws' respiratory systems are very sensitive to
Cockatoo powder and that they shouldn't be housed in the
same rooms, and if you decide to do so anyways, you must
have very rigourous air filtration. Maybe I heard wrong...
but just thought I'd mention.
