"This species is also one of very few birds that can used its feet like hands, to handle objects or bring foods to its beak"

Erm, can't ALL cockys do this?

Yes, ALL cockys and some members of parrots family are few birds (out of 9000+ species) that can used its feet like hands. --Stavenn 11:48, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that the emphasis is wrong at the present time. What about "Like all cockatoos and many parrots, the Blue-eyed Cockatoo can use a foot to hold objects and to bring food to its beak. Amongst bird species as a whole this is relatively unusual." Snowman 22:35, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page would benefit if a good photograph of the bird was added. Snowman 13:03, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
