Zeke is a typical silly Quaker. If he likes you, he will be putty in your hands, if he doesn't, he will let you know.
He has some localized plucking on his chest and we are waiting for bloodwork results to come in to determine if there are any medical concerns.
After Xrays and bloodwork, it has been diagnosed that Zeke has some pretty severe arthritis in his "knees and hips". His blood work determined he has liver disease commonly associated with fatty liver disease. We have him on a great diet, a liver supplement and daily prescribed pain killers.

I am a transfer from the Lethbridge Parrot Club. My guardian passed away and I was in need of a stable environment where I get to choose my next family. I am very friendly with most people, I love to talk, scream, dance and chew cardboard toys to shreds! I am social and love to be with people that understand the complex needs of the cockatoo. If you over stimulate me by petting cuddling, I could get very frustrated which could lead to a bite.
