Question
Hi, I am the proud owner of an 8 month goffin cockatoo.  This is my first parrott, and I am having difficulty in finding info specifically on these species.  I am ok with the physical care of 'Sparky', but im not sure about training and stimulation.  Do you know of any good books or articles?

Answer
Unfortunately, there isn't always a whole lot of information online about certain species of cockatoo specifically, there is LOTS on cockatoos in general.

Here are some articles that I thought you would enjoy/benefit from:
