They can become just as tame, affectionate and loving as any other species of cockatoo, but they need to be socialized well. As a pet, It is possible to keep this species of cockatoo as a pet in your home, but it is not common. If they are not correctly socialized and tamed when young, they will never become really tame or affectionate to humans. This species is also extremely hard to breed in captivity and generally needs a very large aviary. This is why this bird is more seen in bird parks and zoos than as a pet.
Often called a pink cockatoo due to its soft pink body colouring, the Major Mitchell cockatoo is in fact named after Major Sir Thomas Mitchell, who was a surveyor and explorer of Southeast Australia during the 1800s. This beautiful cockatoo’s most distinctive feature is its white-tipped crest, which is banded red and yellow at the base. The wings are generally white with a darker pink underside. Living in small groups or pairs, they have also been seen with flocks of galahs and little corellas. The birds grow to 36 cm long, a medium size among cockatoos.

I had an extension built to the house so that my 4 could have a bird room and be uncaged. It has a sliding door to the aviary outside. When I see how active they are and how often they fly during the day and hang upside down and just have fun, I could not go back to keeping them in a normal cage. The best thing is to have more than one. My four males have paired up as two couples. It is so lovely to watch them in natural play, feeding each other and preening each other. Good luck with your bird 🙂

I’ll sometimes have one of my feathered kids with me while I’m working, and I cannot tell you how many appraisal report hard copies I have that have one of their “nibbles of approval”. If I’m ever audited, the authorities will think I’ve let mice at the files. 😂

I purchased a Winix air cleaner from fifthwest avairy, for my African Grey. I thought I only needed something smaller for the corner of his room where the cage is. I received this big box and this is a lot bigger than I need. It will take up too much space. My question is, is there a smaller one that would do the job of pet dander or is this the size I really need to remove all this “dust”?
Thanks for any input.

This could be hormones. Google hormonal behaviour in parrots and you will find dozens of possible solutions like no petting below the head, 12 hours of covered sleep time per night, etc. This could also be height dominance issues, in which case remove the perch on top of the cage and see if it helps. If you still can’t find a solution, consider consulting with an avian vet, who can help with behavioural issues in addition to medical ones.
