:Hi ive been wanting a goffin cockatoo and I have 5 birds now which are a moluccan cockatoo 2 african greys a sun conure and a yellow crowned amazon.I was wondering if goffin cockatoos are good pets and if they are really loud and everything I think I could handle the noise if i can handle a moluccan!How long do goffins have to be hand fed for cause i found a person that has a hen laying on eggs now and they should be hatched by the end of march and i was wondering how long it would take her to hand feed.

Hi I have a goffin cockatoo that is 3 years old. I got her at the age of 5 months and I hand fed her till she was a year old. She was also eating on her own but still wanted the security of knowing I would hand feed her. One day she just didnt want that anymore so I stopped. Its very important for cockatoos to feed secure and not be rushed thru the weaning process. I love Goffins, they (at least mine isnt that loud) perhaps once a day and not every day she will scream and display, she likes to try to talk and makes other noises. Mine is a wonderful, affectionate playful bird. I also have a Moluccan cross, and an Eclectus.
