Meet Rocky

Rocky is a lesser sulfur crested cockatoo. His previous owners trained him by using a squirt bottle and a broom. As a result, he is scared. He feels more comfortable stepping up on a towel than on a bare hand. He'll frequently fly off of the towel and on to the ground, but then comes running back to the person who squats down and jumps on the towel again!He spent the past year in a foster home. They were able to make progress with him, but lately had not been seeing more improvements. We're hoping that finding him a new family where he can live out his life will help him to improve even more.
Rocky does not have an aggressive bone in his body, and it is just heartbreaking that he was treated in such a harsh manner by humans! With love and patience, we know he can become a loved family member again.
