Re: (Major Mitchells/Paul shows his ignorance of birds, again

If you think you want one, you better do a heck of a lot more
research than you have done and you better get some information
you can truly count on instead of the drivel that pours off
Paul's keyboard. The Major Mitchell is one of the least suitable
cockatoo's as a pet. While they can be great when young and hand
raised they often become aggressive as they mature, and many end
up as only suitable for an aviary. If a bird is to be kept as a
pet, it will need some firm handling to stop it becoming dominant
as it matures. It is also a destructive chewer, and has a very
loud "shout" at times. Don't be another case of "oh it's so
pretty I want one", without finding out what you really need to
know to deal with one of these birds. Don't take my word for
it. But don't take Paul's either. Do your own research.
