Adopt Mango

Male

Hi, I’m Mango, a beautiful Citron-crested Cockatoo! Hi, my name is Mango and I am a delightful boy who likes to dance and chat and sometimes I like to shout really loud so everybody hears me. I like to chew my way through boxes and wood and pretty much anything that looks chewable. I'm a good boy most of the time, but I do get told off sometimes because there is something I'm not sure about when it comes to my human’s feet. It's like I just get an urge to dive at them, so I think my human should wear shoes so they are safer when my urge kicks in! History/Background: Mango came back into the charity through no fault of his own. Current Condition: Mango is a beautiful bird, but he has plucked some of his feathers. Training: Mango is generally well behaved, but has some ongoing problems with overbonding, so care must be taken to ensure that he does not get overstimulated when being interacted with. He knows how to step up but on his terms only! Diet: Mango enjoys a diet of Johnston and Jeff Lean and Fit seed mix, as well as dairy free mashed potato, fresh fruit and vegetables, and the occasional scrambled or poached egg! He loves banana, and enjoys apples, oranges and grapes. Enrichment: He loves boxes and wood to chew up and enjoys being out of his cage all day, with dried banana chips hidden around to encourage him to forage. He also likes to play with coconut shells! He has learned to enjoy showers now too! Summary: Mango is a beautiful boy with so much love to give. His overbonding issues will need to be monitored and he can be noisy at times (as with most cockatoos). He does prefer women, but it may be possible that he could warm to a confident male carer as he has occasionally stepped up for men in the past. Mango would prefer to be in a home without young children. Preferably 13+ as the noise can make him a bit stressed. He is very good at going to bed, but he will be very upset if you don't say goodnight to him! This boy deserves the best life and so much love, care, and attention. If you are confident, understand cockatoos and can give that to him, please don't hesitate to apply below! Are you interested in adopting?

About Mango

What life with Mango looks like

Mango is a adult bird waiting at Problem Parrots in United Kingdom.

Birds are long-lived, social, and noisy. The species and individual history matter enormously — ex-companion parrots can carry strong attachments and trauma. Ask the shelter about their daily routine, diet, and whether they'd do best alone or with a flockmate.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mango, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mango?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Problem Parrots handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mango on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mango if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Problem Parrots will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Mango already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most birds on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mango isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Problem Parrots early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mango and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
