Barney The West Coast Cockatoo
Barney is a social media superstar whose focus is to bring smiles and happiness to all.
Barney is a Moluccan Cockatoo who was hatched in Canada in 1994.
In 2006 his third human family was downsizing and he was sent to The World Parrot Refuge in Coombs. After the death of the refuge founder in February 2016, a rescue effort was led by Night Owl Bird Hospital and Greyhaven Exotic Bird Sanctuary. This turned out to be Canada's largest animal rescue and possibly the largest in North America. Approximately 600 parrots were rescued at that time.
Surviving for 10 years at the refuge, Barney was part of this rescue effort. Almost three years he spent with Greyhaven. Barney is a very energetic, funny, engaging and attention demanding male Moluccan Cockatoo.
Dad and Barney first met in November 2018.
Barney was adopted to his new forever home on January 30 2019 where he lives with his Dad on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia Canada
