Goffin cockatoos are very sociable and friendly pet birds, they are not timid so they enjoy being held and stroked. Goffin cockatoos are quick learners and can also get a bit mischievous. Don’t be surprised to find that your Goffin’s cockatoo quickly learns to open the cage after seeing you unlatch the lock.

Also called the Tanimbar corella, the Goffin cockatoo for sale is about 12 inches long from head to tail being the smallest of white cockatoos. It is most likely to be mistaken for a bare-eyed cockatoo because of its similar appearance.

Goffins are mainly white with salmon-colored feathers around the eyes and beak, and the deeper feathers in the crest and around the neck are also salmon colored. The undersides of the Goffin’s wing and tail feathers have a yellowish tinge.

   Goffin cockatoos are very playful birds and need a spacious cage to climb about. The cage has to be well constructed not only to prevent the bird from destroying it but to also prevent it from escaping. A pet Goffin needs toys and appropriate items to chew and destroy. Goffin cockatoos need toys, such as puzzle toys and those that involve undoing knots.

Goffin Cockatoos are needier than other pet cockatoo birds and the owner should set boundaries early on or else the bird might start screaming for attention. A cockatoo new to the home should not be showered with non-stop attention but rather given toys and other enrichment opportunities as well as intermittent attention so that the bird learns to keep itself entertained when the people in its life are not able to offer one-on-one time.

   Goffin’s cockatoos are highly intelligent and especially good at figuring out how to unlock cage doors. A 2013 Oxford University study showed that Goffin cockatoos can solve complex mechanical problems by undoing a series of locks one after another.

Ten untrained Goffin’s cockatoos faced a puzzle box showing a nut behind a transparent door, which was secured by a series of five interlocking devices. To reach the nut, the cockatoos had to first remove a pin, then a screw, then a bolt, turn a wheel 90 degrees, and then shift a latch sideways. One Goffin figured out the locks in under two hours without any help; many of the other cockatoos solved the problem with a little help or watched another cockatoo do it.

   The Goffin’s cockatoo has a standing as a “calmer cockatoo,” in any case, this isn’t to imply that a Goffin’s won’t shriek, particularly assuming he needs your consideration. Albeit not a top talker, a Goffin’s strength get familiar with a decent amount of words and expressions. In the same way as other different cockatoos, Goffin’s will generally adore moving to music.
