"The oldest cockatoo in captivity is a Major Mitchell's Cockatoo named 'Cookie', residing at Brookfield Zoo in Chicago, which was 76 years old in 2009."
Interactions and special bonds between zoo animals and their keepers and between zoo animals and frequent regular visitors have always fascinated me.
This video shows one of the very significant advantages zoo animals have that their counterparts in the wild don't have - the close connection with, and love from, humans.

Very adorable Cookie! I just wanted to let you know that the glue on the paper tube is toxic to birds. So please be careful.
