Umbrella Cockatoos are perhaps the most cuddly and

While most people would find this endearing at
first, they soon learn that these birds are perhaps
also the most demanding birds on the planet. They
would be sewn to your hip if it was a possibility.
What they lack in talking ability they make up for
in intelligence, as these are birds who can readily
learn commands and tricks.
