Ohhh, how nice!!! I've NEVER seen Cookie this animated and happy! Lovely to see him dancing and almost smiling! Thanks so much for posting and sharing! :>) Greetings from Chicago
Sept 2009: COOKIE WILL NO LONGER BE ON PUBLIC DISPLAY AT THE ZOO "...because he was constantly agitated like a curmudgeonly old man who wants those darned kids off his lawn. Earlier this year, staff noticed that when Cookie was off exhibit, his appetite improved and he appeared more at ease. Cookie will spend all his time in a keeper's office surrounded by people he knows and likes." YEAH, COOKIE -- NO MORE KIDS KNOCKING AT YOUR GLASS HOUSE AND SCREAMING AT YOU! :>) Happy Retirement!
I think it is sad that Cookie won't let anyone close enough to sort out his pin feathers, he looks like he could really use a scratch, and after all these years at the zoo, of he has'nt bonded with anyone, that is sad.
Can you imagine what that bird has seen in his lifetime?!?!?!
Beautiful bird.
What a sweetheart! Cookie is adorable. That is a great clip. I'm glad you found it and shared it with us.

Most parrots can and do with proper care.
