Well hello there! My name is Fred. I was born in 1995, which makes me almost 16 years old. I had a great family who loved me very much, but when they were no longer able to care for me, they found the Refuge.
When I first came to the Refuge, I was scared and wasn't always very good at socializing with people. One of the volunteers, a teenage girl, took a liking to me and spent a lot of time working with me. We developed quite a bond and because of the time she spent with me, I learned to enjoy spending time with pretty much all the volunteers here at the Refuge. I'm also quite a lady's man and have a Moluccan 'too girlfriend named PJ. I love to spend time with PJ on the Java tree, although sometimes I get a little too excited and preen PJ a little too roughly. Therefore, we're always supervised when we're playing together.
I do pluck my feathers so I tend to look a little bit naked sometimes. However, I promise that what I lack in feathers I more than make up for in personality! I'm an avid bather and sometimes the Refuge volunteers have to fill up my water bowl 3 and 4 times each day, due to my frequent baths.
In addition to bathing, I enjoy spending time anting. For those of you who haven't witnessed a cockatoo anting, I suggest you come watch me - I'll show you how it's done. I've been known to ant pieces of wood that are bigger than my head!
Why not stop by the Refuge and see if you and I hit it off? We may end up being friends for life!
Hope to meet you soon,
Fred
