From For The Love of Birds

Hatch Date: 2000 Soki is a beautiful 25-year-old male umbrella cockatoo. He had a rough start, spending most of his first 15 years in a dark basement, and then was surrendered to a pet store, where he was purchased by a good Samaritan. She kept Soki for 10 years and gave him love and good care, but for reasons out of her control, she needed to surrender Soki. Soki is now settling into his foster family, and they are loving getting to know him! Soki loves attention, sings, dances, and likes to play catch with his many toy stuffies. He is starting to allow snuggles, and his fosters think he will be a wonderful lap bird when he finds his forever loving home. He loves it when his foster sister preens his head, and he returns the favor by preening her hair when she holds him. Soki loves his foster mom and sister, but he has started to seek out attention from his foster dad and brother now too. He wasn’t often handled by the man in his last home, and he may still choose a female primary caretaker. We are starting to believe that Soki could be the rare bird that likes his family members regardless of gender. Soki is a typical male Cockatoo, so we will favor an adopter with large bird…

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