Regular visits to a veterinarian usually keep these health issues at bay. Triton cockatoos may suffer from respiratory problems, intestinal issues like inflammation and coccidiosis, psittacine beak and feather disease. Clip the feathers just enough to make sure they glide to the ground, and not fall to it. Clip the feathers as well to ensure your cockatoo does not fly away through an open window. The nails and beak should be clipped at regular intervals or else they’d get too large, and may cause injury to the owner.
Replace the chewed up toys from time to time as well. A complete disinfection of the cage needs to be carried out every other month. The water and food dishes in the cage need to be replaced daily with clean ones. Make sure that they stay away from chocolate and avocado, as both of those are toxic for parrots. Tritons should get a quality seed mix, fruits, vegetables and a pelleted diet. Their raucous calls usually are at their peak during dawn and dusk, as those are the times in the wild when they make noise to get others of the flock together (at dawn) and to return to their nests (during dusk). They also tend to get overly attached to one person, which might lead to aggressive behavior towards others. They can also be rather loud, so you’d either need to place them in a sound-proofed room or have very considerate neighbors. Elke afgebeelde vogelsoort wordt besproken in een tekst van twee tot dertien paginas. Jovial, fun-loving and gregarious, they can become a handful because of their constant craving for their owner’s attention. Onze vogels in huis en tuin is een werk in drie delen, geschreven en geïllustreerd door John Gerrard Keulemans.Samen bevatten de delen 200 kleurenlithos met inheemse of exotische vogelsoorten. These birds are absolute clowns when it comes to personality.
It has been introduced to western Australia, New Zealand and New Guinea. They thrive in a wide range of temperatures but ideally keep them in an area with a moderate room temperature. Cacatua galerita is native to the Australian Region and occurs in large numbers in the north and east of Australia. You must also provide plenty of chewable toys as these birds are rather prone to chewing. There should be perches for the bird to sit and swing on. The findings can be best explained by the variation in social complexity among species, rather than in their ecology.A sturdy cage with ample room is what is required for a triton cockatoo as they are excellent escape artists and can easily bite open flimsy cages with their strong beaks. The rainbow lorikeets were outperformed by the parrotlets, but outperformed in turn the macaws and the cockatoos. In contrast, macaws and cockatoos failed to identify the correct string in these two tasks. Spectacled parrotlets performed best among the four species and solved the most complex choice tasks, namely crossed-string task and broken-string task, spontaneously.
The species tested showed a high individual and inter-specific variation in their ability to solve the tasks. We varied the spatial relationship between the strings, the presence of a reward and the physical contact between the string and the reward to test different cognitive skills requiring means-end comprehension. In this paper, we compare the performance of four parrot species, spectacled parrotlets (Forpus conspicillatus), rainbow lorikeets (Trichoglossus haematodus), green-winged macaws (Ara chloroptera) and sulphur-crested cockatoos (Cacatua galerita triton) in standardized string-pulling and string-choice paradigms. A comparative approach is required to investigate the evolutionary origins of cognitive abilities.
