Chiquita Reference Sheet
HEY EVERYONE!
Meet Chiquita!
I've been wanting to design a bird character for myself for quite some time. I've had a rough time settling on specifically WHAT kind of bird I wanted to have, and finally settled on an Umbrella cockatoo. I connect with these birds alot; I'm loud, I get anxiety from being alone for too long, and love my trinkets. All in all, I believe this bird is a great choice :3 some day I may have to make myself a suit of her...
Umbrella Cockatoo Personality & Behavior
The umbrella cockatoo certainly makes a charming, affectionate pet, but it’s not for everyone. This bird can be as fickle as the weather, playing one minute and screaming and nipping the next. Birds will be birds, with all of their quirks and caprices, and umbrellas are no exception, though the informed umbrella owner is fortunate to live with this extraordinary bird that was named after something ordinary — and indispensable.
The umbrella desires nothing more than to cuddle with the object of its desire, and can become overly attached to other birds or objects in the pet shop, leading to serious disappointment when these birds or objects are sold — these birds are extremely sentimental! In the wild, the umbrella is never without a companion, and the captive umbrella has the same instinctual patterning to bond to a mate, or at least to have a special friend. The best way to make an umbrella cockatoo unhappy is to keep it in isolation.
