A Pirate's Life Experience

Blackjack

Meet 12 year old Blackjack. I recently acquired a new Umbrella cockatoo parrot in September 2018 through the Reno Area Avian Enthusiasts parrot club. raave.com

Blackjack has lived in 3 different homes and is on his 4th and forever home with A PIRATE'S LIFE EXPERIENCE. Blackjack is very friendly with people of both genders. He can be quite loud and thinks he is the Captain of the ship.

Blackjack is very curious and you may see him jump from place to place. Blackjack can say hello but is limited on other words at this time. Blackjack has had a bit of stress in his life and shows signs of plucking on his legs and under his wings.

The white cockatoo, also known as the umbrella cockatoo, is a medium-sized all-white cockatoo endemic to tropical rainforest on islands of Indonesia. When surprised, it extends a large and striking head crest, which has a semicircular shape.
