Hatch date : 1992

Kizzy is a typical, high-energy Umbrella Cockatoo.  He is full-flighted, full-feathered and beautiful!  

You wouldn't guess he's about 30 years old!  He was with his original owner his whole life. She got sick and needed to enter a long-term care facility, leaving Kizzy with no one to care for him properly.  

Like most all cockatoos, Kizzy can be pretty loud from time to time, but he does most of his vocalizing mainly in the morning and early evening.  He talks a good bit, and his favorite phrases are "Hello",  "I love you", "Gimme a kiss", "Are you a good boy....huuuuhhh?", and "Hi Baby".

Kizzy likes to sit on top of his cage and is, in the last few days, getting the nerve to climb down onto the floor and walk around the room, getting close to his foster family members, but still cautious.  He steps up from the floor easily and then loves to snuggle and have his head and neck rubbed. He enjoys chewing his wood and cardboard toys, Parrot TV on Youtube, and listening to music.  

Kizzy has been disease tested for PBFD and Chlamydia. He will be adopted with his cage, toys,
food and medical records to get him started in his forever home.   

 Kizzy will not be adopted to a family with a female cockatoo.

Kizzy is being fostered in Howell, NJ and will only be adopted to
someone that is willing to drive to do the required visits.
We will NOT ship our birds. 

For the Love of Birds is a network of dedicated foster home throughout NJ and Eastern PA, we have no central location.
As our adoptable birds are living in volunteer homes, or in their family's home, we only allow approved applicants to meet our birds.
If interested in meeting Kizzy please review our adoption policies and complete an adoption application on our website ftlob.rescuegroups.org.
