Heavy feathers

[guest1717171]

are all cockatoo's feathers heavy?
chickie baby has the heaviest feathers i have ever seen
when she shakes and flurffs up they rattle
and all the feathers on her head flop back and forth like hair

are other big parrots like this or is it because of the dust in her feathers?

just thought it was interesting
please excuse my nerdiness

I had to go yank on Tigo's feathers a bit to see! LOL

They're pretty thick... but not excessively so?

[guest1717171]

maybe its just because theyre so much longer than what im used to
most of them wiggle around instead of clinging close to her body like the small birds

ive never been around a big bird much (well bigger than boogie)

LOL Compared to conure and quaker feathers, too feathers are bulkier. At least I think so.

I'm giggling at Tina yanking on Tigo's feathers LOL

[guest1717171]

maybe chickie baby is just dramatic
she flips around a lot causing them to flop to and fro LOL
when she hangs upside down (which has been a lot lately) the feathers on her head hang there like hair
i love her
:)

Tigo's a big love. Here's a pic of her and my bratling. They're inseparable.

Thats the thing I love most about the bigger toos... they have got such playful personalities! That's about the only thing I miss about the U2 we had here briefly. Her antics were so much fun to watch. The Goffin's are more laid back and stuck up LOL Lilly dances around sometimes but Diddle is always very much the proper gentleman.

She is a beauty. The kid though, she's for sale. I keep trying to get Tigo to bite her a good one but alas, Tigo is too nice. The King bites her instead.

Oh she is gorgeous!! I wish Minga would like me but she's definitely a man's bird. Although... she has learned to yell "Mom!!!" thanks to the kids when she thinks she's not getting any attention. If I go in there though, she starts trying to rip me to shreds. Really gets under my skin because I am the one that wanted a macaw so bad we almost paid $1200 for a Scarlet and now hubby gets to pick her up, pet her, and love on her and I get squat LOL.
