I've also been told there are some very good behaviorists out there that can help. If you can't find out by doing a search, let me know and i can ask our bird breeder who she would recommend. They may be able to help over the phone, or online too.

Sam Foster has done, and continues to do a lot with cockatoos. You can find some of her articles at:

I've found these articles, as well as the article by Jane Hollendar, found at the same website, to be quite helpful. Sally Blanchard also has some more generalized articles on biting, bonding and general behavior that would also be helpful.

These are the names I've thought of off the top of my head.
