MOLUCCAN COCKATOO
$800.00 – $2,000.00
The moloccan cockatoo also known as salmon-crested cockatoo is one of the most smartest cockatoo parrot in our Aviary. This bird is highly intelligent, sociable, playful, entertaining, and it is the largest cockatoo specie. The salmon-crested cockatoo is a gentle, affectionate and cuddly bird. It is advisable to keep them in large cages or aviary because they require a lot of space to cuddle and play with their toys.
The moluccan cockatoo (salmon-crested cockatoo) is found in eastern Indonesia, Hawaii, and it is one of the largest cockatoo specie. Moluccan cockatoo is one of the most beautiful parrots because of its striking appearance and wonderful temperament. The female is usually larger than the male. The bird has white-pink feathers, a slight yellow on the underwing and underside of the tail, a large retractable crest, and a bright red orange that plumes to frighten attackers. It has one of the most loudest calls in the parrot world and mimics very well in captivity. In the wild, they eat seeds, fruits, nuts and insects off the ground. Salmon-crested cockatoos are vulnerable species.
Moluccan cockatoos are very popular for their beauty, this makes them very special popular in trained bird shows. This parrot is one of the most demanding parrot to keep as a pet bird because of their high intelligence, noise level, large size, and chewing habits. They also require large cages or aviary due to their size. This bird is highly social, gentle, affectionate, extremely cuddly, and they need attention and activity to remain healthy. Attention and training from their owners is highly important because moluccan cockatoos can develop behavioural and health problems by plucking their feathers if not provided with appropriate attention.

The wonderful, friendly and caring owners are highly knowledgeable about healthy parrots and always willing to help their customers. For a smaller store, their inventory is exceptional, and their prices are very reasonable. Combined with the excellent customer service and wide array of birds, it’s a must for pet owners. I will give them 5 stars PLUS if I could!

What a great store! The owners are so nice and so knowledgeable about the birds in the aviary. They also know about dog health and training! They are just great! It’s so awesome that they are in the neighborhood!

This is a great new store in the neighborhood! The owners are incredibly nice, we talked during their soft opening for about half an hour. They wanted to know all about my pet birds, and they wanted to make sure they are healthy and strong. They have a nice selection of birds. This is a great store to go to for your normal day-to-day parrot needs, and I will certainly be doing most of my pet shopping here.

We had a bad experience with these guys. We ordered a baby cockatoo and they shipped us an adult cockatoo. We asked them to take it back and refund us they refused. We were forced to keep the adult bird. We really wanted a baby that can grow with our kids.

I found my baby Moluccan Cockatoo from Hansen Parrots. If I have any questions, i always ask the owners because of their experience. If you need a bird, this is the right place for you. Very helpful and knowledgeable people. Thank you Melanie from Hansen Parrots.
Sofia A –
Prices were very reasonable and Hansen was very helpful. This one goes to the top of our list for pet birds and supplies. I highly recommend this place!
Sasha K –
The service is great, the prices fair and they have just about every bird you can imagine. I’ve bought stuff for my boyfriend’s Moluccan cockatoo parrot here too, even things that I’ve been unable to find at other pet stores. I recommend this site!
Ethan C –
I would recommend this place to anyone – it’s much more trustworthy than other sites and other chains and the birds all seem healthy. I enjoy looking at the birds they have. Good site!
Jama A –
I didn’t know this place was here, but I’m so glad that I found it! I love this place because the owners are so nice and helpful. I really appreciated that she offered to give us some advice on how to care for the birds. The owners are so friendly and knowledgeable. If you have a feathered friend that you care about, make sure to come here where the owners can help you with some tips on how to care for it. You guys earned my respect!

I found her super cute from the beginning and the kids also quickly accepted her… However, 3 star trigger, since it took them a little longer time to deliver her than i expected… As a bird love YES, the baby is worth everything.
Mathia E –
Hansen is wonderful. Takes his time to explain everything and he is super honest. He does not try to sell you a parrot just to make money. He educated us on the pros and cons and this site is definitely personalized. We purchased 3 baby Moluccan Cockatoos and we couldn’t be more happy. None are biters or feather pickers.
Alice M –
I am glad to see a place more concerned with the welfare of its birds than with churning them out as a product for profit margins. The consideration they show for both their birds and their customers is incredible, and I am definitely coming here for all of my pet needs from now on.

We are moving to Richmond and Hansen the owner of Hansen Parrots was such a wonderful discovery at the neighborhood. He is so kind and my parrot love him!!

I visited and researched many sites, looking for a hand tamed baby Moluccan Cockatoo parrot on my price range, on February 28, (2 days ago), I found Hansen Parrots after doing some internet research. I paid half of the amount upfront and paid the balance when i visited the store in VA, took him to the vet within 48 hours of my purchase and he checked out fine. Excellent breeder.
Alexandra C –
I complimented Hansen on his store and he was just wonderful! I really want to let everyone know they must visit the store, there are so many wonderful creatures here. Lovely family birds. You will love it here!!

I am so pleased we have such a great store in our neighborhood, I hope we keep them busy! It’s a rare thing to have such personalized treatment from a fellow bird lover!
Terrence J –
We were worried when the bird arrived so we took her to the vet for checkup but everything came back fine. We are happy to have her with two other lovely Moluccan Cockatoos, now the family is bigger…
Alfredo D –
The owners and staff are knowledgeable, kind, and always willing to help. I refer all clients in the area because I know they will be happy with their experience. Thank you for always providing superior customer service.

We don’t regret buying the bird from this breeder because we got what we wanted and we are satisfied with the purchase.
Kamren S –
I have been coming here for years, they have the best selection of parrots! They are the best in terms of customer service and care for our pets. Please shop local!
Amar J –
A wonderful neighborhood pet shop. Excellent customer service from people who really care about and love birds. Get away from the pet supermarkets and find out how nice it can be shopping for your pet birds. Great place and highly recommendable!!
Annie E –
The customer service is unparalleled. Hansen has been so helpful in the last few days as my husband and I just brought our new pet bird home and we truly have no idea what we’re doing. He helped guide us through a couple of choices on things like food and in finding a smaller harness since the one we had purchased is too big. He is just the best and we’re so lucky to have them just down the street.
Antonio K –
Yay for amazing, small businesses! I’m so thrilled to have them in my neighborhood, they have been wonderful for me and my new feathered friend.
Anja F –
So we were searching for pet birds online and we stumbled across this website. We gave them a call and the owner answered and was super nice and friendly to us. He explained everything that we needed to know about birds. The broad selection and customer service impressed us instantly. Way to save the day, and our sanity!!! See you again soon.
Meredith A –
Thanks for our feathered friends. We appreciate your loyalty

I like this bird site! It is small, but there is a WIDE variety of beautiful hand tame parrots. It is a modest, and the birds seem to be well taken care of. I purchased a hand raised, hand-fed, tame, weaned and sexed Moluccan Cockatoo and she is brilliant fellow.
Anja M –
I put 4 stars on it because the bird is just amazing and quite large and that my cage is large too, one thing I don’t like is that the bird does not talk or communicate the way i wanted but he is still awesome. I also think that the price is okay for a king like him. Reliable breeder!!!
Paulin D –
Nice Nice Nice! Get your baby Cockatoos from Hansen Parrots and you will live to enjoy the bird(s).
Ken S –
Great service. Highly recommended. Thank you

This is the best pet store ever. I feel like I’ve spent more money on birds here than anyone else. Yes, they’re a little more expensive than other stores but the people here really know their birds. I love their parrots especially the ones I bought.
Michelle Cena –
We bought two moluccans yesterday. The person that attended to us was super generous, helpful and informative. He or she seems to care a lot about the birds! They have a great selection.Thanks
Martinez H –
I totally agree with a previous review that this is a human in bird form. The Moluccan Cockatoos are more like human beings base on how intelligent they are and this amaze me so much. All Hansen Parrots birds are well trained and tame. I ended up getting two birds instead of one that was originally planned. This is all because of the cute behaviour and interactions the birds have towards people. I am super grateful for discovering this website
Elliot S –
If you’re looking for a companion bird, this is the place to go! Highly recommend

Super store. So helpful. Great selection and variety of pet birds. Highly recommend.

Best Pet Shop in the city! I can’t thank them enough for their excellent service. I had an incident with one of my birds this evening. He got startled, flew away and broke two of his feathers. He started screaming and bleeding and I started crying, frantically trying to get a hold of him. I knew it was bad. My first thought was, Oh my God, it’s 6 o’clock. The Pet shop is closed! NO! I called them anyway, thank goodness they picked up. I explained my situation and was given instructions on how to handle him before rushing him over. When I arrived, two of their best employees examined him and gently removed the feathers. They made sure all the pieces were removed and the bleeding had stopped before handing him over to me. They assured me he would be fine, and once more I was given detailed instructions on how to care for him when I got home. I tried to repay them for taking such good care of Louie and for staying after hours, but they wouldn’t accept it. They were just glad to see he was ok. This injury, if left untreated, could be fatal. I don’t know what I would have done if they hadn’t answered. I am so very thankful.

I have bought 2 Moluccans here and I couldn’t be happier. The birds here are bred and hand fed, so they are very friendly. On Sundays and Mondays, you can bring your birds in to have their wings clipped. This service is so great to have because I don’t think I could ever do it on my own. I’d get too nervous. Here, they have the experience, the tools and the knowledge to do it right. I love to buy my bird food here because you can ask them to put whatever you want in it. I get the cockatoo house blend with little to no sunflower seeds, since they are very fattening. They add minerals and nutrients to the mix as well. Nothing like the ready to buy bird food you get at other pet stores. Here, they explain what each nutrient does and add them all for you. Great! One less thing for me to worry about! Oh, the millets here are gigantic and are so fresh. My birds love them. If you are interested in buying a bird, come in for a visit. You are able to play with the birds and spend time with them before making a decision. It’s awesome!

Everyone who works here cares very deeply for birds, and not just the ones they sell. We have a Moluccan Cockatoo that we bought from them about 2 years ago, and we routinely bring him in for boarding and grooming (nail trims and wing clips). They’ve never given him anything but the best care, to the point that he actually enjoys going to stay there when we’re out of town. Just a great, great store with very caring, helpful, and nice owners and employees.
Patrick E –
This place is fantastic. We first started going there back in 2017 or so (when they were in their previous location) to pick up stuff for our cat, and Hansen, Melanie and employees were always super friendly and helpful. We wound up spending lots of time hanging out with the birds, and that eventually morphed into getting a bird (an awesome Moluccan Cockatoo). The whole staff was very helpful and extremely patient in assisting us with our decision, and let us spend lots of one-on-one time with potential candidates before the purchase.
Fraser V –
Hansen Parrots is the best pet store out there! These days it’s rare for us to go more than two weeks without stopping by to pick up bird food or bird toys, to get grooming done (wing clipping, nail trimming, etc.), or just to chat. They also board the bird when we go out of town, which is incredibly helpful. Overall, this is probably my favorite store in the area and I hope they stick around forever.
