BELLA ROSE – Female. Goffin cockatoo (Cacatua goffiniana). Purchased as a baby by a lady who ended up not being able to keep her. The sanctuary boarded her for 6 months prior to moving to a new location and the owner thought she’d be happiest at the sanctuary. She was adopted but for some reason she began to pluck and over pluck in the new home. The new home ran hundreds and hundreds of medical tests and could never find a reason for this. She was regretfully returned to the sanctuary. We were able to capture only this one photograph of her before she jump from the perch and hurt her elbow. She was fine but we didn’t want to stress her too much.
