COOKIE is a Major Mitchells Cockatoo who was probably born wild in Australia. He is the oldest resident at Brookfield Zoo in Chicago and has been there since the Zoo opened in 1934. The Zoo celebrated his 75th Birthday this year, even tho COOKIE is probably OLDER than that as he came to the Zoo as an adult.
You can visit Cookie in the Perching Bird House.

Rest in peace Cookie. rest in piece...
I love watching animals as they fall asleep. They always seem so peaceful, like they don't have a care in the world.
And that's how I want it to be for them!
Cookie is such a beautiful bird, and I am so glad that he is retiring to a more peaceful place.
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."
HAPPY RETIREMENT!
SO CUTE!!!
Very fortunate to have seen Cookie.
Makes me want to take a trip to Chicago to see this amazing fella in person 8-)

You're welcome! I can't believe there aren't more videos of Cookie on TH-cam -- love the one in which he is getting "jiggy!" :>) We seem to usually just catch him napping...

Rest in peace, dearest Cookie
YEAH, COOKIE -- NO MORE KIDS KNOCKING AT YOUR GLASS HOUSE AND SCREAMING AT YOU! :>)
Happy Retirement!
He has to be lonely and all the kids screaming at him and knocking on the glass is probably not what he needs in his old age. Maybe that's why he is only 'on display' on weekends now...
HAPPY 82nd BIRTHDAY, COOKIE:

Cookie is a Major Mitchell Cocatoo, and he looks lonely. Judging by the pin feathers on his head it seems he doesn't trust anyone to preen him.
If he were 3 or 4 perhaps.
