This is a very good article on Cockatoos. It definitely assures me that I am not the right person to ever think about adding a larger Cockatoo to my flock. Dakota is all the Cockatoo I would ever be able to handle. They are definitely more difficult than a macaw & so many are afraid of macaws due to their beaks. I'm not afraid of a Cockatoo, I just know I don't have the time to devote to the larger more needy Toos.
Dakota maybe being an RB2 and not one of the larger Toos does answer me when I call him. Since he doesn't always stay on his play perch or top of cage play area, I start calling & frantically looking for him when I don't see him up there. He knows his name really well and when he is just some spot on the cage I can't see and I call him he comes running to see what I want. The look on his face is like he is saying, "What Mom?" "Are you OK, Mom?" It is so cute when he does that and looks more concerned over my welfare.  On the floor and I call him he will run right to me. I am glad I have him trained if you can call it that to answer me & come running. 
Dakota is absolutely the hard headed est bird I have ever owned. He does not know what the word no means no matter how many times he gets put back on his play perch after getting into some place he doesn't belong. GCC Conures are almost as hard headed that way.
