They should always be provided with toys, blocks of wood or branches to chew on. Goffin’s cockatoos are inquisitive and love to chew objects in their surroundings, but they are not as destructive as other cockatoos. Many die of disease or injury well short of their potential life span. Precise data on the life span of the average Goffin’s cockatoo is poorly documented. Goffin’s cockatoos can live up to 40 years. They are most active in early morning and late afternoon. They also invade cultivated areas and damage crops, gathering in flocks of 300 or more birds and feeding on seeds, crops, fruits, berries, buds, flowers, nuts and insect larvae. In the wild, they inhabit coastal lowland forests and woodlands on the Tanimbar Islands of Indonesia. The formal scientific name for the bird is Cacatua goffini. The flight feathers on the underside are yellow. They may be confused with the larger bare-eyed cockatoo.

These birds have short white crests and blue eye rings with a small pink patch between the eyes and nares (nostrils). However, they are not very common in the United States.
They need a lot of attention, but are not as demanding or possessive as white cockatoos. They are gentle, playful and very affectionate – in short, they make excellent family pets. Goffin’s cockatoos – also known as the Tanimbar cockatoo – are active, high-energy birds.
