Hi Meero, congrats on your new cockatoo. What is his name?
Cockatoos are difficult birds to take care of, why did you choose one?
Orange juice & mango juice is fine as long as it's unsweetened (no artificial sweeteners as well!) and fed in moderation. |

Hmmm any ideas how old he or she is? From there you can look at the eyes and if the bird is like say, 4 years old, I think the eyes should be reddish of colour. 
If you have no clue, I'd choose a neutral name. I heard Zazu (my bird's name) for both girls as boys.
Cockatoos are indeed very stubborn! |
