(juvenile male Sulphur- crested Cockatoo, Cacatua galerita)

Olaf was one of the cheekiest personalities. His best friend Forest (a yellow collared macaw) joined him on the table. Olaf slyly would wait until Forest walked past, then deliberately step onto his tail to hold him in place while he feasted on the fruit. He held onto the pear looking up at me as if to say “this is mine now”.
