Misha had such a perfect cockatoo day! We started off at the @tgfarmersmarket (I’m going to get a bandana for him from @izzysbarkinbandanass ), then did the South Grand Art Fair, ate at @steveshotdogs , and he had the most fun sitting pretty in a friend’s peach tree. He told me for the first time, as I was putting him to bed, “Misha love you” (which Chris tells me he practices saying when I’m not around, but this was the first time he said this to me and in context no less). He’s previously just said “Misha love her”. He’s so smart and sweet! #moluccancockatoo #mishabird #cockatoo #sweetbird #stlpets #stlbirds #lovemybird #cockatoolove #cockatoolife #towergrovefarmersmarket #towergrovepark #southgrandstl #southgrand #stl #stlouis #southstl #cockatoointegration #lovingbird #smartbird #birb #birbstagram #cockatoosofinstagram (at St. Louis, Missouri)

Sushi night! Keeping the avocado away from Boo made him want it more so it was a needlessly stressful meal and I didn’t take more pics of video because he was being so damn annoying. Misha ate half the edamame and didn’t touch anything else. #cockatoos #stlpets #stlfoodie #stlsushi #goffinscockatoo #moluccancockatoo #cockatoolove #cockatoolife (at 1 STOP SUSHI EXPRESS)

Went to the Tower Grove Farmer’s Market a little late and got some kombucha. Drank it and had snacks at a nearby friend’s. It was so windy that Misha had a hard time hanging on to my arm (his toes face the wrong way and are spastic, from birth). He was glad to sit on our laps on the porch! @confluence_kombucha @tgfarmersmarket #moluccancockatoo #stlpets #happybird #cockatoo #specialneedsbird #birdouting #towergrovefarmersmarket #towergrovepark #southgrandstl #southstlouis #birdabouttown #birdsocializing #parrotsofinstagram #cockatoolove #cockatoolove (at St. Louis, Missouri)

Happy national pet day, Boo . Almost 22 years together! I bought him home a few weeks after this Polaroid, too young and unweaned. It’s amazing we both survived my 20s! #nationalpetday #goffinscockatoo #cockatoo #cockatoolove #throwback #lifetimecommitment #stlpets #stlbirds #polaroid #2000s #loveboo #cockatoolife #babybird #babycockatoo #birb (at St. Louis, Missouri)

I love Boo but there is nothing so profound as Misha empathetically loving on me after a crazy day when I’m drained. He is such a loving, intelligent, gentle cockatoo. I am so fortunate that he is in my life! #mishabird #moluccancockatoo #cockatoo #cockatoolove #bffsforever #loverbird #lifetimecompanion #goodbird #lovehim #love #stlpets (at St. Louis, Missouri)

If you are one of my many friends not on a Moluccan cockatoo forum… you should read this website put up about the experiences of Sergi and his cockatoo Roxy. They are in Kyiv, under siege, and documenting via group posts that are being amplified on this site.
Please share. It’s heartbreaking and is a human/bird story that should be told.

Shower Saturday! He thinks that going to bed is going to my bed, since we used to nap and sleep together when he was a baby. #boobird #goffins #goffinscockatoo #cockatoo #cockatoolove #saturdayshower #showersaturday #wetbird #wetpet #cutebird #wetcockatoo (at St. Louis, Missouri)

7 years ago today, I was fated to become a “failed foster” with Misha. I was not looking for a bird and I was actually pretty scared of Moluccan cockatoos, yet I was immediately able to handle Misha. When a bird chooses you and there’s that spark of immediate connection, there is no saying no without lifelong regret. Misha was about 6 years old when we met, and he’s gone through the rowdy adolescent phase surprisingly well (none of the aggression or personality changes that others have documented). He’s gladly accepted a harness so he can go out with me, and he adapts to whatever my schedule is. He is the best bird about choosing and eating healthy foods, and in 7 years he has destroyed less of my house and belongings than Boo does in one year. Misha is the kind of Moluccan cockatoo that makes other people want a Moluccan cockatoo, and I am so fortunate to be his caretaker . #moluccancockatoo #cockatoolove #gotchaday #mishabird #cockatoo #cockatoolife #gotchadayanniversary #7yearsoflove #cockatoos #lifelongcommitment #lifelongcompanion #adoptionanniversary #goodbird #stlpets #stlbirds (at St. Louis, Missouri)

Cockatoo holidays survival hack: put the playstand in the middle of the room between people seating and the television but so that folks can see around it. Cockatoo thinks everyone is watching him and is a good happy bird #cockatoolife #cockatoolove #moluccancockatoo #cockatootravel

Boo is 1000x more of a pest than Misha. I get home and he just wants to eat and play, because he ignores the food in his bowl since I started cooking a lot more during this pandemic. I know my cooking is good, and I probably need help eating, but he just takes over. Misha, on the other hand is like the cockatoo of mellow chill. Misha has been loving learning about lock picking on his busy board, and daintily nibbles only the healthiest food I give him. I will probably regret teaching him about locks… #moluccanmonday #mishamonday #cockatoolove #cockatoo #goffincockatoo #mischiefmonday #boobird #cutebirds #cockadrama

Farmer’s market again this weekend! Swipe for the cuddle videos. Misha has started molting and just wants me to preen him, all the time. During the week it’s pretty boring, Saturday farmer’s markets are seriously the most interesting fun I have anymore (anyone remember the bar hopping with Misha phase I went through in 2017-18??).

Who knew Boo would perk up this way? We’ve been listening to @ksmuradio on Saturday nights and sometimes Sunday nights online for the past 21 years. We like Seldom Heard Music, The Gold Ring, Under the Mulberry Tree, etown, etc. Boo did a backflip to prove he’s ok and has quickly forgiven Chris and I for that harness mishap. It was so scary to see his legs go limp and his eyes glaze over for seconds that seemed like long minutes!

This harness worked out great on Boo until he had a stress seizure getting it off . We did everything right… But it’s just not meant to be. He will go to indoor get togethers only, or outside in his bubble. Misha was very sad that we left @shortymixcookies party early.

Baby came over to visit today! I wish she’d teach Boo to not be scared of sports and action movies on the television. Misha thought that she was a rival for attention but ignored her while he focused on soaking it in from me and Baby’s mom.

Perfect weather and evening to have chicken on a stick from @graffitigrubstl and a cocktail from @stlbarkeep (said hi to @bark_n_sniff). Misha was the perfect picture of calm fluffy cuddly Moluccan cockatoo love … until it came time to leave. No video because he was acting suddenly obnoxious as we were leaving. He laughed at every kid we passed walking to the car, which meant he wanted to get petted by every small child (and did)….

I love it when Boo sticks out his tongue. He helped me eat spicy hot Mexican style chicken
