Cockatoos are undoubtedly a unique type of pet, and they make a lot of company. Moreover, because they live for many years, they are the favourite of those who want a faithful companion for a long time. An example of this is the glossy black cockatoo.

A glossy black cockatoo as a pet

In general glossy black cockatoos are not popular as pets. In Australia they could be easily obtained as they occur in nature and are not endangered. Outside of Australia they are rare and therefore more expensive.  They can become quite tame, but are generally not kept as pets in houses but more as birds in large aviaries.

Speech and Sounds

https://www.parrots-fertileeggs.com/product/cockatoo-eggs-2/We all know that cockatoos have a worldwide reputation for their noise levels and their chatty, raucous personality. But that’s one aspect in which the black Cockatoos stand apart. True to their much more calmer personality, their noise levels are equally low and tolerable. The natural calls of a Glossy Black Cockatoo consist of a variety of squawks, but they most often simply murmur to themselves in mimicry of conversation. This is often a silly and fun pastime, especially during playtime. When kept in pairs, in aviaries, or simply when they lack attention, their loud natural calls might be more repetitive.

Colors

The simplicity of their appearance is in a sense what gives them their peculiar charm. Birds with such dark looks have an air of elegance and mystery to them, which always makes highly sought after. This all-black parrot has a few contrasting details which make them easily recognized. The males have a slightly lighter black head, and their tail feathers have a mix of red and black patches. The females are lighter black and have yellow specks on the neck and tail. This difference between the sexes will make it easy to know how to name your pet and provide better care.
