    Looks like Populus. Not sure which one.

    I'd say probably Populus × jackii (hybrid P. balsamifera × P. deltoides). Not toxic, so suitable. It has quite soft wood which your cockatoo will enjoy shredding, and give it good bill exercise. But that does also mean you will need to replace it fairly frequently!
