You are trying so hard to talk!

She is beautiful and very gentle, but visitors are not allowed to pick her up.

@tyan: Thanks, Ty ... I agree. I wanted to badly to pick her up and put her on my shoulder.

I would think that would really stress her to have people picking her up. I love the gentle pink coloring of her feathers and the way you incorporated that into your framing. Beautiful job Judy.

@Marion: You are no doubt, correct, and that's why it isn't allowed. However, you can see by her posture, she would probably enjoy the handling.
@Carlos Palma: Thank you very much, Carlos.

What a beautiful gentle-looking bird. The detail in feather and beak are excellent. And the pink is delicate., Judy.

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Tender eyes, tyan is right. And intelligent. Your excellent photo of this bird has captured a bit of her personality; plus you make me wish I could go there in person to meet her and see the other surroundings.

@Viewfinder: She truly is a wonderful pet (I think) and is so connected to people as they talk to her.

Are visitors allowed to give her a little tickle on the head?, I couldn't help but touch here if I were there, she is a treasure. I love the beautiful soft colours of her feathers, you have captured her beautifully Judy!

@Kylie Greenan: I wish visitors WERE allowed to pet them, and perhaps if not too many people are around, they do. She truly looks and acts like someone's pet. ... Thank you very much, Kylie.

Peter Miller from Lichfield, United Kingdom
Cute but that beak may hurt a little
30 Jul 2008 10:12pm
@Peter Miller: Yes, it could if she wanted to use it for harm. I personally think she'd rather kiss with it. ;D

Barbara from Florida, United States
Oh Judy, a magnificent image of a cockatoo. Excellent light and framing. It is really a perfect image. There may be liability reasons they do not allow the birds to be handled or touched. Animal instinct may say "I don't like this person" so I'll just take a finger off.
Also you never know what the human can pass along to a bird. Hand washing is very important. Instinctively birds do not show they are ill until they are very ill. Needless to say what the bird could give to a human.
I see one Amazon down at the beach, it's owner letting everyone, including small children handle the bird. I really feel sorry for the bird.

@Barbara: Thanks, Barb; I really appreciate your 'bird-lover' comment!
Thank you also, for your keen insight into the health of the birds. I know so little about them other than the beauty I see and the personality they display.
@Mandy Provan: Thank you, Mandy; she surely was beautiful!
