Cockatoo to Humans: Step Away from those Chocolate Eggs
A family in England found that a bowl of Easter candy had a wider appeal than they thought. The pet cockatoo Pippa saw the filled chocolate eggs and adopted them, treating the treats as her own. When anyone got near the bowl, she's spread her wings and scream. The story circulating has been that the 17-year-old bird thought the eggs were real and had adopted them. Uh-huh. Obviously they haven't been able to get close enough to count the number left. My bet is that the bird's love is not for eggs so much as chocolate.
