Cocoa - Goffin's Cockatoo
 
Cocoa is a Goffin's Cockatoo. They are smart birds and they get bored easily. Cocoa's favourite toy is hardware. She will do and un-do nuts and bolts for fun. All cockatoos are crested, they have a knot of feathers on their heads that they can raise or lower according to mood. Cocoa's crest is salmon coloured. Goffins are a "Threatened" species in the wilds of Indonesia, where they're from, and there are now more Goffins in captivity than in the wild. Cocoa likes to sing opera and yell "HELLO - BEAR CREEK!" like she's answering our phone. Goffin's cockatoos are the smallest of the cockatoo family.

This was a strange bird ritual of some kind. Cocoa would gently "taste" all of Tiory's fingers one at a time, then start over.
