Rose-Breasted Cockatoo (Eolophus roseicapillus)

Sorry, we no longer breed birds.

min. cage size: 36" x 36" x 36"	talking ability: very good

This medium-sized cockatoo is relatively quiet and has an engaging, spritely personality and
a good ability to mimic human speech.

The Rosie is very playful and interactive with its owner.

This species should be fed a lean diet as it is prone to obesity. A diet similar to that for a cockatiel is good for a Rose-Breasted Cockatoo. This species is prone to fatty lipomas, just like budgies. Feed them a lot of sprouted seeds leafy greens such as kale, dandelion, chard, etc. My Rosies love to shred green limbs such as eucalyptus, willow, honeysuckle, or palm and very likely they eat some of the green bark and young leaf shoots. They can have spray millet and small seeds such as canary and white proso millet but limit the amount of dry seeds fed.

Known to live for many years, this lovely cockatoo makes a fine pet!
