Hi:
Kim has given you very good advice, but I need to interject about the safety issues linked with housing BG macaws with dust producing birds, ie your cockatoo. For some reason, many BG macaws are very sensitive to Too dust. There is a respiratory disease they can get that acts very much like miner's lung does in humans. There is no treatment and no cure and can lead to fatality.
Even running air cleaners, it simply won't prevent this problem IF your macaw is one of the sensitive ones. Unfortunately, its a silent killer, usually not showing up until about 5 years later. At that point, its just too late.
It really isn't recommended having BGs and cockatoos in the same house, much less same room. I wish you well, but PLEASE be very, very careful. I know you don't want to lose your macaw because of something you had complete control over.
THE OUTLAW
