Here in the Bigfoot Home, we're often asked what it's like to own a cockatoo specifically an odd ball like Julius. Another question we're often asked is, what does Julius's crown being up really means? Does it mean he's angry? Is he excited? Or could it mean he's just a silly nugget? The answer may surprise you...

When the Jules Bird's crown is up its a warning to everyone around him that he is on the hunt and that any unfortunate soul that stumbles too close will suffer the worst bite in the parrot world. Now believe it or not, this isn't always a result of the Julius being malicious. Parrots and in this case Umbrella Cockatoos are known to lose control in their excitement and what they may see a playful bite, in reality, is like a knife slicing through butter. Do you think this could be a problem for potential babysitters? How does his Mamma and that Ape he calls Dad respond to such "vicious" attacks? How can Julius get people to overlook this potential flaw? Check back in next week and find out!
