When you set another species of parrot on the floor, that species may feel vulnerable and become intimidated, not a Cockatoo. Cockatoos are delighted to be down there on the floor. It is an opportunity to begin exploration activities. Cockatoos bore easily and keeping them challenged requires a lot of your time, both planning time and interactive time. Cockatoos will never, ever be molded to your will.
Some birds can be more obedient and willing to please.
They do not come to you usually with much independence and they must be taught self-confidence. Cockatoos are thought to not be as adaptable to new homes and persons. Macaws are believed to be easier to relocate, train and keep happy. After infancy, Cockatoos can demonstrate aggressive behavior more quickly than other birds, not giving warning like the South American birds do. Not many rewards are needed for their basic training.
