Hot take: Hahn's macaw are actually easier than people think

I see SO many posts about how umbrella cockatoo are difficult birds. Honestly? After owning one for 5 years, I think they're one of the more manageable parrots IF you put in the time upfront. The key is consistency. Am I completely wrong? Fight me.

This happened to us last winter. I think the shorter days and dry heated air were the cause for my bird.
