Being friendly and sociable, hand-reared Citron-crested Cockatoos can make good pets. They are not as noisy as most cockatoos, but are curious and like to chew. They are generally quiet, but they can make a loud honking or screeching sound, which is lower in pitch than the calls of most parrots. They can also make a repetitive quieter whistling or squeaking noise. They are not as good at imitating human speech as some members of the parrot family, although they readily learn behaviors and they can be trained. They often raise the coloured crest feathers in display, when surprised, or to show interest or excitement. Their droppings are semi-solid and can be messy. As with many cockatoo species, Citron-crested Cockatoos taken as pets need much greater care and attention than other companion parrots. In personality, they are often more shy or nervous than other cockatoos and should be allowed to adjust to new circumstances gradually in order to become comfortable.
They are not commonly seen in pet stores, but are becoming more popular with breeders.
