Gang Gang Cockatoo

The gang gang cockatoo for sale (Callocephalon fimbriatum) is a distinctive small cockatoo from the cool forests of south-eastern Australia – slate-grey overall, with the male instantly recognised by his scarlet-red head and wispy crest. Every gang gang at My Cockatoo Bird is hand-raised, socialised and sold with a 100% health guarantee and safe delivery.

A gentle, quieter cockatoo

Gang gangs are among the calmer, gentler cockatoos, known for an easy-going temperament and a famously creaky call that sounds like a rusty hinge. They are affectionate without the intense, clingy neediness of the big white species such as the Umbrella cockatoo, and their smaller size and softer voice make them one of the more manageable cockatoos – though they still need daily interaction, enrichment and, ideally, cooler conditions than tropical species. They suit a committed owner who wants a distinctive, understated companion rather than a loud show-off.

Gang gangs are not strong talkers; they make soft growls and their signature creaky call rather than mimicking speech, and they are quieter than most cockatoos, which makes them better suited to sensitive households than the big whites.

Care and lifespan

Provide a spacious cage or aviary, plenty of branches and foraging toys, and a diet of quality pellets, seed, nuts and fresh vegetables; gang gangs particularly enjoy native-style foods and cooler, well-ventilated housing. One of the gentlest of our hand-raised cockatoos for sale, it reaches about 14 inches (35 cm) and can live 40 years or more.
