What is my most crazy face

I am Anja , Harley's owner . Harley was born in july 2008 . We got her when she was 8 weeks old . We have had our whole life birds ( smaller ones lovebirds , cockatiels and canary's ) But our dream was always to have a cockatoo ... so we read a lot about what it is having a cockatoo the positives things but more important the negative things ... Most people forget this .... they are very loud , make very much dust , a lot of mess , destroy everything they got in their beak ... so we take a year to get all the + and the - in our head .. before we say yes .It is daily hard working, cost mommy very much energy to raise me from baby to what i am today ... i take a lot of her time i am never when mom is at home in my cage i have all the freedom to play and be a naughty ,funny and cute girl :) A PARROT IS A LIFETIME COMMITMENT AND NO TOY !!! SO THINK very Very very long BEFORE YOU SAY I WANT ONE . They are not All Harley's !! and have their own character!!!!!!

Funny videos of me 😃

I enjoy watching the videos of Harley and her family. She is so loved and has a very busy and happy life with Gizmo, Mum and Dad. She is a very fortunate feathered being!

Whats your favorite video of Harley ?

I have to warn Some people !!! And can't say this enough times its real important to know !!!! I became so Many message and comments about i want a Harley to ....she is so Cute Sweet and Funny and i am agree BUT ‼️‼️She can be very naughty .she can bite very hard ,She scream sometimes very hard Its not all about Fun all day long ‼️It cost me as mommy very very much time to give her this life. When you decide i want a cockatoo please think a few times more about ‼️ The umbrella is one of the difficult parrots to have they need so much time from you , they need a lot of space to play ,they need a lot of attention , they are very expensive, they need expensive food no seeds alone but pellets and fresh fruit ,vitamines etc...they can be het stressed when you are a lot away from home , they can start pluck them selves wen they aren't get enough of this all .You have to think about ...do i want a 3 years old child in the house /in your life for the next 60 years ....and when you think you can give this all to a bird read before a lot on forums,Facebook,instagram etc about experience from other owners .I can garentee you there is no bird the same and Harley is realy a special bird and one of a kind hoe she plays ....i read alot of bad experience and that some birds have a bad character and dont wanna play ... So no bird is Like Harley So please read and think not 1 or 2 nights about but at least a year if you realy wants to offer a part of your life to have a cockatoo....and give it a safe place till she/he or you die ...so Please don't buy or adopt a cockatoo for the fun for you ....you take a cockatoo to have a friend for life a real company for the rest of both life IT'S A LIFETIME COMMITMENT ❤️sorry when my English is not so good but its not my first language and i try to write it right ??) Thanks

How Harley got her name? Has it something to do with Harley Davidson motorbikes or Harley Quinn?

I just love watching Harley. My husband recently passed away. One of my fondest memories of our time together is that before bedtime every night we'd pull up a Harley video. She always brought a smile to our faces. Thank you so much for sharing her with us.
