From For The Love of Birds

Hatch Date: 1988 Peanut is an older sweetheart. He is a 38 year old Goffins Cockatoo with a darling disposition. He loves to get kisses either on his head or beak, and is very easy-going for a cockatoo. He seeks out scratches and interaction, and warms up pretty quickly to those who are kind to him. He is friendly with nearly anyone who interacts with him, but seems to prefer women over men. He is still learning to step up, but loves to fly to his foster mom's shoulder. He is an excellent flyer. He loves to keep actively climbing all around his cage and perches. He shows excitement by jumping up and down, and dances to music sometimes by doing the same. He doesn't seem to have any words, but makes some very endearing sounds when he's happy or showing affection. While he doesn't step up yet, when it's time to go to bed or into his cage, his foster mom just says to him to go there and he does without issue! Peanut is by no means an incredibly loud bird, but can squawk or scream when he wants attention. He doesn't seem to like other birds. He may do best in a family where he is the only bird, but as long as he has his own space, and both birds are not out together, for a special…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
