General Play Behavior for Cockatoos
(complied over more than 10 years of play behavior studies & research)

I believe the Cockatoo is probably the most accomplished player in the parrot kingdom.
Generally, (at least with the larger Toos), their approach to toys is not primarily destruction, but rather a "what does this do?" or " how does this come apart?" approach.
Often they will use their toys as tools, in order to scoop up a sip of water or to clean their beaks after a yummy snack.
They can dissemble anything without breaking a single part if they choose too.
They will weave or unweave what ever can be woven & they have mastered the art of untying knots on anything.
There is very little a Cockatoo won't find an interest in but VARIETY is key.
In order to keep these birds properly stimulated they must be given, not only a tremendous variety of textures but also a tremendous variety of styles in their toys.
In general the Cockatoos love the colors Red, Purple & Yellow but all colors are intriguing.
Foot toys are usually a favorite with most Cockatoos and should be offered in abundance.
Foraging toys are also an important part of keeping these birds properly stimulated.
Whether it's a little surprise hidden inside a little toy or a tasty treat hidden somewhere in their cage, foraging is an effective & affordable way to relieve frustration & boredom.
Big bell toys as well as swings, bouncers & boings are also a must.
Cockatoos love soft fabrics and their overwhelming desire to snuggle means they
will generally love a birdie bed or at the very least, something soft to cozy up too.
