I told Boo to get to work, as I worked this week… he did as I asked for once! Between yesterday and today, he shredded up a whole 8 foot long 1x4…. Approximately 6 inches an hour, but he works a little over time. We are giving this to one of our friends as mulch. #hardworkingbird #workingbird #goffin #goffinscockatoo #cockatoo #cockatoolife #destructatoo #mulchingmachine #goffins #cutebird #cutecockatoo #stlpets #cutebutpsycho #heneedsajob #workfromhomepets #helperbird #goodbird (at St. Louis, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfX5ABCu2IS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
"A few significant findings emerged. The birds engaged in most calls for the maximum allowed time. They formed strong preferences—in the preliminary pilot study, Cunha’s bird Ellie, a Goffin’s cockatoo, became fast friends with a California-based African grey named Cookie. “It’s been over a year and they still talk,” Cunha says.
"According to Kleinberger, the types of vocalizations the birds used suggested they were mirroring the call and response nature they engage in in the wild—“hello, I’m here!” in parrot-speak."
