Bird lovers of all ages flocked to Brookfield Zoo and joined in the 78th birthday celebration for the zoo's oldest resident—Cookie, a Major Mitchell's cockatoo. Cookie is the only animal at Brookfield Zoo that is from the original collection, dating back to the zoo's opening in 1934. Because of his advanced age and several medical maladies, including osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, Cookie has been permanently off exhibit since September 2009. His keepers give him a lot of attention and provide him with a variety of enrichment items to occupy his time and stimulate his mind.
He's in great shape!
