After a number of years as a loyal boarding client, Missy officially joined Free Flight’s full-time resident flock in April 2026! She’s a very sweet girl who knows her own mind, and is easily distinguished from the other umbrella cockatoos because of her unique “smile!” Missy sees a vet regularly to help maintain and correct her slight scissor beak, and she appreciates having her produce chopped extra small so it’s easier to eat.
