Hi there! I'm Molly, a Moluccan cockatoo. Contrary to what my name suggests, I'm actually a male. I am a wild-caught cockatoo who has already been in two different homes.
Being a wild-caught bird, it took me a while to learn to live with humans. However, once I get to know and trust you, I will step up easily and am quite the cuddler! I make great kissing noises and say "Hi Mol" with much enthusiasm.
I love getting baths with a spray bottle and get so excited that sometimes I do a two-foot hop across the top of my cage. As you can see in my picture, my chest is a bit plucked, but I promise that any lack of feathers does not take away from my personality. Besides, everyone here tells me what a pretty bird I am!
Oh! I almost forgot. I have a bit of a reputation around the Refuge: Best Chewer EVER
I love nothing more than a brand new wood toy! I take great pride in my ability to demolish my toys. We're talking turning pieces of wood bigger than my head into little toothpicks (all in less than 48 hours). I wonder if any toothpick manufacturers are taking applications....?
If you plan on adopting me, you absolutely, positively, MUST provide me with lots of wood to chew on. I also like boxes and bags, but wood is my favorite. I wouldn't suggest leaving me unsupervised in a room - my beak has a mind of its own.
If you'd like to learn more about me or maybe even come to meet me, please contact the Refuge.
Lots of Love,
Molly 1
