Senses in cockatoos. A cockatoo has the same senses as we do, but they use their senses differently. Hearing, sight, touch, taste and smell play a different role in the life of a cockatoo than in our lives. In this page you will find a short summary of the differences. Head of an Umbrella cockatoo.
Parrots and most preyed upon birds have very limited sense of smell. Often, they choose their food based on color and texture over smell and taste. (They have between 40-200 taste buds; humans have 9,000+) they don't have good smell, nor do the pet birds we own need it. Some birds, however, have very good senses of smell. The wandering albatross, for example, can smell the fish it eats from over a mile away underwater. As for domestic species of birds, they don't usually smell or taste well. Essentially, parrots don't smell well but most shore and seabirds can and do.
