Meet Lola

Lola is an female adult umbrella cockatoo. She is one of the parrots that has been with us the longest, looking for a home: almost four years! We've mentioned her before, but never featured her in her own entry.
Lola was confiscated by animal control and transferred to us. As such, we do not know much about her history; not even how old she is.

During the time she's been with us, most of our volunteers have fallen in love with her. She loves attention, and draws you in with the sweetest "Hello" you've ever heard.
It is hard for us to place cockatoos in general. They do not make good pets as they have complex needs that are difficult to meet in a captive environment. It's even harder for us to place cockatoos with severe plucking issues, as many people have a hard time looking past the bird's exterior.

If anyone is considering adding a cockatoo to their home, please thoroughly read mytoos.

We know someday the perfect home will arrive for Lola, and she'll have a family that sees through to the wonderful bird inside. Until that time comes, she has a place at the Center.
