The Adorable Salmon-crested Cuckatoo

It was by chance that I encountered the tamed cuckatoo. It was housed in the same location as the park I went birding. It is being cared for and trained to speak by one of trainers attached to the Dept of Wildlife and National Parks, Malaysia. For the moment is could 'speak' 2 English words ie Hello & Bye-Bye. Both spoken in a high kinda cute sounding pitch. :-) This is one cuckatoo which will endear itself to both the young and old alike. All the very best to this special one!

Below is a photo I could not resist been captured with. :-)
