Some pets have absolutely no idea they’re adorable.

Julius is not one of them.

Our umbrella cockatoo has mastered the art of posing for the camera. The moment he notices a phone pointed in his direction, he transforms into a feathered supermodel. Head tilt? Check. Crest fluffed just enough? Check. Looking like he’s been practicing in the mirror all morning? Absolutely. We’re pretty sure he’s convinced the camera exists solely for him. Being cute is one thing. Knowing you’re cute is a completely different level of confidence and Julius has that figured out. We may be biased, but we’d say he’s pretty cute… even if he does expect applause after every photo shoot.

What can we say? Some birds were born to fly.

Julius was born to pose!
