Sassy is one of the first birds I got. She came home after having been weened in 1992. She likes to say “Whee-bee!” while rising up her shoulders and flinging her bright yellow head crest forward. Marnie learned to say “Whee” from Sassy.  Sassy doesn’t say anything else, but giggles, and loves to ham it up in front of the camera or a crowd. Imagine the time I took Sassy to a classroom of 4th graders, who I told to raise their arms and say “Whee-bee”. She reacted with her Whee-bee dance, and this went on and on until I saw that Sassy was getting tired from too much Whee-beeing. Sassy began to pluck at her feathers when our other Cockatoo came into the fold. Other than this we are unsure why Sassy would pluck.
