April 13, 2007: Cadbury cockatoo
http://cellar.org/2007/cadburycockatoo.jpg
Danac suggests this BBC item about a rather feisty cockatoo named Pippa. Pippa's 17, and lives at the Nuneaton and Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary. One day they took her outside, where she saw those Cadbury Creme Eggs. She decided they were hers to protect, and for the last two weeks, that's what she's been doing. According to the owner, Quote:

I bet she's delicious. Bird for dinner, chocolate eggs for dessert. Perfect.

Cockatoo Mole

Cockatoo Fritatta

Hmm. No chocolate tatoos on male organs here. pffft.

I wouldn't be worried about that bird. If I can choke a chicken, I can handle a cock or two.
|
*grins* very good.

How can [Imus] you people [/Imus] even joke about eating cockatoo?!?!?
I'd use it as crab bait and have crab cakes instead. |
Most aussie birds like chocolate

I used to live in Nuneaton, and I can't recall ever seeing a wildlife Sanctuary! There was a nice quiet town, an ant-hill that was about 6 or 7 stories high, and a lovely quiet pub...? Well, never mind, just send me the cadbury's eggs as evidence and I'll believe it. :)
|
Has the cockatoo checked to see if the eggs are smaller or not?
|
Not a pet bird person.

Pet cockatoos have to be the meanest birds on the planet. I never thought a bird could have feelings of jealousy and hate, but I'm certain this species does and with a beak that can snap car keys in half (lucky I carried a spare) you had best keep fingers far, far away. The owner laughed while telling me a story of a "love bite" she received while handling the bird that, unfortunately, clamped down on the class ring on her finger and disfigured the round shape to an oval. She noted that having a vise grip around proved most helpful that day.
Fear these evil birds. :worried: |
My friend's macaw has resized my jewelry a time or two.
Chocolate is poisonous to birds AFAIK (I've been given a list of things not to feed my friend's $2K bird, chocolate is at the top). |
guess that cockatoo isn't going to be abusing people for much longer.
|
He's not eating the chocie....he's gonna hatch it.
Therefore, will live to the ripe old age of 125, like those blasted things do. My Mum's swears like a trooper, its awesome what you can teach them to say. |

You know - if a 17 YO cockatoo chomped on ME like some of these stories - it wouldn't make it to be a 18 YO cockatoo - BTW that holds true for dogs that bite too - won't stand for that stuff - they get ONE mistake

Based on what I've read, Alka Seltzer can possibly make a seagull sick and kill them, but not make them explode.
