Cee Lo Green has been advised not to get his cockatoo out on The Voice US.
The 'El Dorado Sunrise (Super Chicken)' hitmaker announced plans to replace his cat with his Moluccan cockatoo Lady for the show's third season, which Monica Engrebretson from the animal rights organÂisaÂtion Born Free thinks is a bad idea.
"Moluccan cockatoos are beautiful, intelÂliÂgent animals but they are very chalÂlenÂging to care for espeÂcially in the long term, and are prone to conÂsidÂerÂable welfare problems," she told TMZ. "Many Moluccan cockatoos develop self-destructÂive behavior including feather plucking and self mutilÂaÂtion not known to occur in the wild."
"I encourage The Voice to reconÂsider featuring a moluccan cockatoo or any bird as a 'pet' on the show and instead promote a more approÂpriÂate companion animal such as a dog," she concluded.
