Question
Hello Could you tell me what the personality of a fully grown unbrella cockatoo is like?

Are they really loud? could you compair there loudness with anything?

Answer
Hello.  Thanks for posting your question.  

I cannot answer this question.  Every bird is different.  A bird's personality depends on how the bird is socialized, it's genetics, it's life experiences, how it is trained, etc., etc.  Generally, U2s can be very nice birds with proper socialization.  Yes, cockatoos are loud.  Their noise can be ear piercing at times!  If you live where noise could be a problem, you don't want to own a cockatoo, amazon, or any of the large parrots.
