Temperament: The Goffin's Cockatoos are known to be very active and playful. They can be destructive, but due to their smaller stature they can't destroy large things very easily. Because of their playfulness, they need many toys to stimulate them, or else feather plucking could result from boredom. They enjoy time out of the cage, and make a wonderful cockatoo for those who can't spend 100% of their time with their bird. They are not typically aggressive, and can be quite cuddly at times.

Talking Ability: Poor
