Sorry for the late post, but yesterday I got to hold an Umbrella Cockatoo, and although I was petrified after hearing UC are scary, this one seemed to be sweet and let me hold her! Her name is Juju and she's very cooperative! Im going to go visit her and some more cockatoos today and Im so excited!! Had to share these photos.

Thsyre a beautiful amazing species arent they?

And I dont often say this about a mans eyes, but you have very pretty eyes. Your lashes are thick and beautiful. I bet you get a lot of girls looking at you!

Erica's right they are addictive. You have to be extra careful around cockatoos. They will suck you in with their soft feathers and angelic eyes and only when they have you convinced they are the perfect bird will they allow you to see the little devil hiding inside. :rofl: I love toos and they definitely keep you on your toes.

Nothing like a U2. Sweet sweet sweet. Love their voices, their mannerisms, their big ol clown feet and the way they stomp around. Love em.
