Love Your Bird: Marley the "Egg-tra" Special Cockatoo

My Marley (Goffins Cockatoo) was an egg that got kicked out of the nest. Lucky for the owner who found it, she was determined to save that little egg. She carefully put the egg in a little box with a light and soon after much turning and watching the little bird hatched. She was so excited but she did not know how to feed this little Goffins. This is where I come in. She knew I hand raised cockatiels and asked if I wanted to take her in. I said of course I will. I hand feed her and weighed her for seven months. She is my baby and I am her mommy. She follows me wherever I go. She is now 11 years.
