Goffin’s cockatoo or Hahn’s macaw?
I am looking for a cuddly parrot that enjoys human contact and company. Anyone has both? Which one would you recommend.
They’re both pretty cuddly, the Goffin’s perhaps a little more. They both enjoy human contact and company. The Goffin’s may be somewhat louder and a bit more active and demanding. The Hahn’s may talk better. The Hahn’s has the long tail, but the Goffin’s is actually a larger bird, about twice the weight of a Hahn’s (330g vs. 165). Both make fine pets.
