A friend of my husband's paid handsomely for a beautiful white Cockatoo, just like "Fred" on the Beretta TV series.

Once, he left the cage open when he left for work and by the time he got home, the bird chewed the edges off of every wooden object in the house. We went there to see it and it was amazing. All the door and window moldings, cabinetry, and wooden furniture had their edges ripped off.

He gifted the bird back to the pet shop the next day.
