Ducorps Cockatoo

The Ducorps cockatoo is one of more rare varieties of cockatoos endemic to the Solomon Islands.
They are very intelligent and thought to be more independent than most their relatives. But like any cockatoo they are still going to need a lot of time and affection to function at their best. 
The average life span of this bird is 35 to 45 years so buying a bird like this you will have a companion to go through a majority of life with. 
We are lucky enough to have one of these beautiful birds in our store and his name is 'Dewie.' He is seven months old and a ball of energy. He shares a cage with a rose breasted cockatoo named 'Princess Peach' and they love each other. Anywhere she goes he follows. They are both so sweet. At first  he leaves her side begrudgingly but once separated he has no problem being away.  
He loves to play games, especially climbing around on top of his cage like we are playing a game of chase. He is very vain, always cleaning himself and thoroughly enjoys being told how great he looks.
Dewie would be a great addition to any family and be a perfect pet for someone of any age. Come play with him and decide for yourself!
