Happy Monday from Kiki, our unforgettable Salmon Crested Cockatoo. When people ask what Salmon Crested Cockatoo personality is really like, Kiki answers before the question is finished. He greets the week at full volume, fueled by curiosity, confidence, and a belief that every room belongs to him. Dancing, calling out, and launching himself into the middle of everything is just how he gets Mondays started — and honestly, the week doesn’t stand a chance.
Simply put, Salmon Crested Cockatoos are anything but quiet. These parrots are smart, loud, and totally attached to their favorite people, traits well documented in Salmon-crested cockatoo behavior and intelligence. For example, Kiki doesn’t just like attention—he lives for it. Because of that, he’s always busy: talking, spinning, or tossing toys across the room.
Also, these birds are known for their soft pink crests and bold style. Moluccan Cockatoos, which are part of this group, are loving and social, often forming close bonds with their people. Even so, behind all that noise and fluff is a gentle bird who just wants time with you, things to do, and a quiet place to rest.

Kiki also reminds us why large cockatoos need experienced care, patience, and understanding to truly thrive. At the end of the day, this Salmon Crested Cockatoo reminds us of something simple: don’t hide who you are. Instead, show up, speak up, and maybe even dance like nobody’s watching (even if they are). Whether he’s stealing your snack or the spotlight, Kiki shows that life is better when you enjoy it.
