My new best friend

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Well, I wish. One of our carers has Kopernicus a Red-tailed Black Cockatoo that actually came into care from near my house. She was never claimed by her owner so our Parrot Coordinator kept her as her pet, because being tame, the bird would be unreleasable and we don't have this species locally. It's a she, as females have golden spots (like stars, hence her name after the Polish astronomer). Males are black.

She loves me BTW. And is not the first lady to do so. :D

Hey Bro, great pose from both of you. Can she talk, as my neighbour had a white cockatoo, and it could talk.

[Lana Hays]

Hey Akos.....I'll bet the cats really love her. Nice pic of both of you.

[Harshad Barve]

Beautiful bird, I guess that beak could do some real damage. :)

[Mirenchu Fernandez]

[Gus Cobos]

[Alfred Forns]

Akos can't imagine that bird and all your cats :) A beauty !!!

[Fabs Forns]

She is a beauty, and looks very friendly :)
I'm sure Lulu would love to meet her ;)

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Hola Akos!

Great to see you with this great looking bird. Love the golden spots.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Thanks guys. :) She is not my pet sadly, but eventually we may get one if an unreleasable turns up. This lady does not talk. Just squeaks and squawks and yells in your ear while she nibbles at it (VERY GENTLY) thank God for that! She is awesome. :) And loves spaghetti. :)

[Kerry Perkins]

Ákos, that is a really cute birdy! I can tell that she likes being shown off by you!!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Sure like your new best friend Akos and the image tells it all. Both look very happy !!!!!
