Daisy Mae, a female Ducorps Cockatoo, was hatched July 8, 2002, and came home to live with us on November 15, 2002. She was bred at the Avicultural Breeding and Research Center (ABRC) in Loxahatchee, Florida. There is little information on this wonderful species and these pages were intended to show the development of a baby Ducorps.

Our deepest thanks to Terry at ABRC for all of her helpful and always courteous assistance and much gratitude to Kerry for her loving care of the babies there. Extra special thanks to Kerry for taking all the great watching our baby grow pictures!
