I lay claim to this creature as I can control him due to our shared Australian heritage! I can use him to help control the other cockatoos so they don't make as much noice and rip up trees.
This just reminded me of a funny thing I saw once:
Looked out the window when I was in the car and saw a Cockatoo sitting on a fence holding a hot dog-esque length bread roll in its foot and eating from the top like a person. Twas hilarious.
