About

Hi, I'm Romi and I'm so worthy of a new home! Could it be with you? Do you like underdog stories? (Well, I guess "underbird" is more appropriate in this case). Please keep reading! I'm a male Goffin's cockatoo. I was rescued out of a methamphetamine house over 25 years-ago. I was happy with my family after they got me out of the drug house. I was out of my cage all day and night. My dad was my favorite human, but when he passed away, I transitioned to my mom being "my person." I don't bite "my person" and will step-up and enjoy head scritches from them. Like so many cockatoos in captivity, I've always plucked my feathers, but I took a turn for the worse and began mutilating when a follicle from picking out a feather became irritated. My mom is elderly and didn't know what to and was considering euthanasia. That's when she reached out to Mickaboo and, luckily for me, Mickaboo stepped in to take me to the vet. <br><br> I'm all healed up from mutilation now and ready for my next home. I ate a seed mix all of my life, and since the vet says it's better for my health, I'm learning to eat pellets. I've always enjoyed fresh banana. I'm afraid of baseball caps and animals on the television. I'll yell if dogs come on the television, so if you want to watch the Westminster Dog Show, don't do so in the same room as me! If you have a huge, kind heart and want to give me a great home, please go to "how to adopt" on the website and sign-up for the basic bird care class! I'm waiting for you.You can see more about me at https://mickaboo.org!
