Post: Citron Cockatoo acts crazy

Posted by Greg Landwehr on 4/23/07

I have a citron cockatoo that I have had for about 10
months. We got her/him from a bird rescue person and were
told that the bird was about 7 years old. We assumed
she/he was a female due to the diminuitive size.
Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, she started acting afraid
of me and being very nervous around me. It is a struggle
to get her out of the cage and she used to be always ready
to come out and play or cuddle although I always thought
she was a little more nervous than other parrots I have
owned but she was always better with me than my wife in
the past. She still is quite friendly with my wife but if
I come around, she/he freaks out. She doesn't try to bite
but tries to get away instead. Any ideas why??
