My Cockatoo

[Gilli]

Thought I would post a pic of my cockatoo - he was such a drab little thing when I first got him and just look at him now!!

Nice ! What kind is it ? How long did it take to color up ?

 

[mattbond]

never seen one like that before, where did you get him?

 

[Gilli]

Another photo of Beckham and his wife Posh!! (Named after an English soccer star and his wife for those who dont know) Took him about a month to colour up and ive had them both about 7 months now. I wish i could get one of him displaying - he really is awesome with those spikes standing up! He has grown tripple the size since then but shes hardly grown at all.

I got them from my local fish shop in Gillingham Kent and was told they are both Cockatoo Cichlids.
