Can I help you?

I have known this cockatoo my whole life. He lives in the restaurant on Central Station in Amsterdam. Today I had the oportunity to take some photo’s and I asked how old he is, 60 years!
I can remember coming here with my father to drink a cup of choco and see this bird here.
He loves the noise of all the people who come here everyday and is very well taken care of.

@quietpurplehaze @ludwigsdiana @30pics4jackiesdiamond @koalagardens @tstb13 @angelunderwater Thank you all for your nice comments and fav’s, I read that Cockatoo’s can become between 80 and 90 years old in captivity, I find that amazing. It clearly bonded with people.
