If your only parrot experience is with Budgies, Cockatiels, Conures, etc., then the best thing you can do is start early, now while you're young, working with large parrots and other Cockatoos, and then years from now when you're working, have a home that you can keep a large parrot in, and are financially able to afford a $15,000 bird (or any Cockatoo for that matter, they're all extremely expensive to own, it's not just about how much they cost to initially buy), you'll already have the hands-on experience handling and interacting with Cockatoos. You need some large parrot experience, not just researching online or reading about these birds. Do this for a few years to gain the experience with large parrots, specifically Cockatoos, as they are a species of parrot that is absolutely the equivalent of having a human toddler with a very violent weapon attached to their face. I totally agree with Kiwi.Instead of worrying about finding a Palm Cockatoo breeder right now, when you're what, a teenager probably, what you need to do is start off by finding an Avian Rescue or a breeder of another species of large parrot, like African Greys, Macaws, or a more common species of Cockatoo, and either start volunteering at the Rescue, or find a breeder an ask if they will mentor you. Once you get some hands on experience (including experiencing what it feels like to be bit by a large parrot), then re-evaluate whether or not this is a worthwhile goal to pursue! You may find you love cockatoos and are willing to put up with the challenges of ownership or may find you prefer smaller/medium parrots or even fall in love with a species you never considered! Experience is the best way to learn about parrots and which parrot is really right for you You may also consider joining a local exotic bird club or seeing if your local zoo needs volunteers for their parrots. I would suggest volunteering at an avian rescue to gain further experience with larger parrot species and cockatoos (there's plenty of them at any shelter, they do tend to be passed around more than other birds due to their noise, mental health issues and bites).

If you have no prior large parrot experience, it would be extremely unwise to make the jump from budgies to any large cockatoo species. They can also inflict bites necessitating reconstructive surgery and are prone to mental health issues such as plucking and self mutilation. Cockatoos are extremely loud, destructive, have notoriously bad hormonal issues and require a significantly larger enclosure than similarly sized parrots of other species due to their high activity levels. If you're actually looking to buy one soon-ish (like say, within a year), what experience do you have with large parrots, or more specifically, large cockatoos? They are, arguably, the most challenging of ALL parrots, with the rarer species often proving even more challenging.

will probably bear no relevance in, say, 5 or 10 years when you're in the position to actually buy one. Are you actually looking to buy this bird in the foreseeable future or just dreaming for now? Because laws change so much so quickly, what is valid today regarding purchase, papers, transport, import etc. You say you're very young and list your current parrots as 2 budgies.
