I am new to this forum, but I have been reading, reading, reading all I can about the Cockatoo and have met a couple before just purchasing our new addition...!!  I am very excited but also getting nervous, as this is still a baby and she is not home yet as she isn't weaned. We go up to visit as much as we can and love her to death already... my question is about when she reaches maturity as I have read that it is then they start getting difficult.. I really want to do a good job with her and want to know what to look out for and how to head off any difficulty with her behavior.... what is spoiling them and I am expecting some screams now and then, but how do you know that she is still happy?   Thanks for any info and I appreciate every bit of advice...Chris
