Black Palm Cockatoo

The bird store that I have gotten my fids from and visit way too often, has just gotten in a black palm cockatoo, very, very beautiful so I thought I would share some pictures of her that we took today....so if you have an extra $16,000.00 laying around.....lol

And a couple more pics....these arent the best pictures, she is in her space, behind glass so it was hard to not get reflections, hopefully she will be out the next time we go.

If I had that kind of money, I would have one for sell in my store too! I know that it would probably never sell so I would get a black cockatoo! I just think that they are sooooo pretty!

That appears to be a baby black palm, looks quite a bit different from the adults though! I wonder how old???

She is a baby, she was born in October...the first day we saw her she was out of her cage and on a stand, she had only been there a day or two and had her crest up the entire time, I wish we would of had our camera then. She is a super sweety, and she looks like she is calming down alot! Honestly very unique looking bird, when I first saw it sitting there didnt realize that it wasnt a hyacinth at first, they always have hyacinths in that area...but it honestly almost didnt even look real.

When I saw the $10,000 price tag on a hyacinth I thought who they heck would spend that much on a bird, but this bird store gets them all the time and they are sold very fast, so I am sure someone will buy this beautiful little girl.
