Nigel – Umbrella Cockatoo

nigel-1 nigel-2 nigel-3*** UPDATE ***

Nigel has been adopted and will be moving to his new home on Monday!

 

Meet Nigel. Nigel is an Umbrella Cockatoo, and typical for his breed, he is a firecracker!

Nigel is an extremely social bird who is very vocal and gets quite upset when people initially leave.

Nigel will need an understanding family with big cockatoo experience. If you understand the needs of this big guy, (and also how to avoid his wants!) then Nigel needs you!

 

Nigel is available for adoption at the Calgary Humane Society.

If you cannot commit to adoption for Nigel, he may also be available as long term foster through Birdline.

Please visit the Calgary Humane Society to meet Nigel and speak with an adoptions counselor if you wish to give this big loving guy a fantastic feathever hom!
