Physical Description:
Bare-eyed Cockatoos are roughly the same size and shape as the Goffin's Cockatoo. They are entirely white or pinkish in color, except for the splash of orange near their beak. Just like the Goffin's Cockatoo, they have a tiny little crest, resembling a shark's fin, which stands up when they are surprised or excited. They get their name from the bare patch of blue skin around their eyes. All Cockatoos have this bare area, but the skin is swollen on a Bare-eyed. To someone who has never seen this species before, they will appear to have an eye infection or a strange growth under their eyes. However, this is completely normal for a Bare-eyed Cockatoo and is nothing to worry about.
Average Lifespan: 20 – 30 years

Sexing: The sexes differ only in eye color, though all juvenile birds will appear to be female. After they have reached maturity (typically around 5 years of age) the females will retain a brown iris, while the males will turn almost black. The darker the iris, the more likely it is to be male.

Origin: Eastern and Northern Australia Trainability: Domestic hand-fed babies make excellent pet birds for dedicated caregivers. Arguably, these parrots are among the most affectionate animals on the planet! Bare-eyed Cockatoos are less demanding and noisy than most of the other Cockatoo species, and are loved for their clownish, affectionate personalities. Although the Bare-eyed Cockatoo can be slightly more independent than other Cockatoos, they still need a lot of attention. If you are unable to devote at least 4 hours of quality time to your parrot each day, then a Bare-eyed Cockatoo is not for you. They are extremely playful and acrobatic. Anything and everything is a toy to them especially if you don't want them to have it. For this reason, we recommend a large variety of toys and plenty of supervision during play time. They can learn to speak, but are often difficult to understand. Bare-eyed Cockatoos will typically develop a small vocabulary of 5 or 6 of their favorite words and phrases, and males can get a little aggressive after 6-7 years

Loudness: Cockatoos, especially Umbrellas, are among the loudest of the parrot species, so if you're sensitive to noise we would suggest looking into another species. These are certainly not apartment pets.

Pricing: Bare-eyed Cockatoos are somewhat rare in the pet trade, but their popularity has been increasing. Feel free to call our store at (954) 725-0088 for pricing and availability if you are interested in purchasing one.
Health Guarantee of Our Birds
We have the strongest bird guarantee in the country, and more importantly, we stand behind our guarantee. The guarantee is simple: We guarantee that we are selling you a perfectly healthy bird. To verify that guarantee, within five days you need to go to an Avian Vet and get any and all testing you prefer to do on your bird, at your expense. We can guide you as to the tests we suggest. If the results are not perfect but the bird can be easily treated, then we pay for all medications and all treatment. If the results are unacceptable then we either replace your bird or refund 100% of the purchase price of your bird, at our option.

Bird Guarantee only lasts for the first five days
Since we have 100% control over the bird's environment at our store, but have no control over the bird once it leaves, we can only guarantee the bird for the first five days. We guarantee that when the bird leaves the store that it has been properly socialized, and that it is 100% healthy. Your new bird has been given an excellent start here at Golden Cockatoo, and it is now your responsibility to properly care for your bird. We are always here to help you take the best care of your bird with the biggest variety and best quality bird products available in the world.

Lifetime Guarantee on our Birds
We guarantee that if during your lifetime, you are no longer able to properly care for your bird, or give your bird the attention it need's, we will accept the bird back on consignment and will find another great home for your bird. We do take a 40% commission and charge a nominal daily fee to feed and clean, but you can rest assured that you always have a place for your bird should the need arise. We are the only store in Florida to offer this guarantee as of the year 2000.
