I would recommend getting one from a breeder. To find one, you can look in the back of bird magazines or online. They seem to know so much more about the animals...especially individually.

I am going to get a cockatoo when I finish graduate school so I can have him in my practice for kids to feel at ease. I found an excellent breeder in Washington that cared a lot for her birds. I would recommend that vs. a pet store.

Good luck!
