Cockatoo Gang Gang behavior

The Gang Gang Cockatoo of Australia is a lovely aviary bird. If you have the space to keep them, these beautiful Cockatoos are a source of constant delight.

In the wild, Gang Gang Cockatoos live in the forest canopy and are quite acrobatic fliers! They are not shy around humans and will eat and drink on the ground quite near to you. They live in flocks of up to 60 birds but pair off for the breeding season. Gang Gangs are migratory birds and spend summer in mountain forests and winter in valleys or low altitude forests. Their voice is described as the sound a cork makes when leaving a wine bottle, without the pop at the end, of course! Grit should be supplied on the floor of the aviary along with fresh water. Try to construct a tall or suspended aviary, since Gang Gang Cockatoos in the wild only alight on the ground to drink. Your Gang Gangs need plenty of room to spread their wings and even better, to fly! They love chewing on branches, and Stringy Bark Eucalyptus trees are a particular favorite. Hawthorne branches with the berries on them are another treat for your Gang Gang Cockatoo.
