About Ponch | |

|
Hatch Date: Approx. January 2016
Ponch is an 8-year-old, DNA-sexed male, Rose Breasted Cockatoo (Gallah Cockatoo).
Ponch sadly came back to the rescue due to some
issues with biting along with lifestyle issues that made it difficult
issues with biting along with lifestyle issues that made it difficult
for his previous owners to care for him any longer.
Ponch is fairly new to his new environment at his foster home, but in the short period he has been with his foster he has shown no aggression.
There have been no attempts to bite whatsoever.
Ponch has accepted gentle head scratches and is learning to step up.
"Step up" is one of the few words he has *whispered* to date.
He loves quiet conversations.
Quiet is KEY with this boy, as he is nervous and reactive to loud sounds and voices Ponch startles easily
He needs and desires plenty of reassurance to be at ease.
So far, Ponch has been incredibly quiet which is not very common for Cockatoos.
He will chirp some but does not scream, as the rest of his species typically will.
This does not mean that he won't find his voice.
Once comfortable, he very well could be quite loud, and this should be expected.
Right now, Ponch shares a home with other birds and a dog without issue.
He loves his toys and is enjoying a variety of fresh veggies, some fruits, and egg whites.
Ponch has a very gentle "old soul" way and vibe about him that just adds to his beauty.
Ponch is being fostered in Howell, NJ,
He will only be adopted to a forever home within driving distance.
