Reggie the cockatoo may not be great at his job, but what he lacks in efficiency, he makes up for in cuteness. A few days ago, USA’s Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden shared a video of their newest office assistant working hard at his new job. The video shows Reggie the attention-loving white cockatoo working hard to make copies, helping out his human colleagues.
According to Cincinnati Zoo, the bird enjoys extra attention from humans, and therefore volunteers its time helping out their office team members.
The video shared by the zoo shows Reggie picking papers off the copier and promptly dropping them on the floor. “Our new office assistant. Reggie the cockatoo enjoys extra attention from humans so it spends its mornings helping out some of our office team members. It has gotten quite good at getting the papers off the copier,” the zoo wrote while sharing Reggie’s video.
Since being shared three days ago, the video has collected over 2.6 lakh views and thousands of amused comments, with many thanking the zoo for sharing the clip and others saying that the cockatoo deserves a bonus for his hard work.
“I love how he doesn’t just drop them, he puts in an extra touch with the head fling!” wrote one person.
“”Don’t need that… or that…or that…'” another joked.
An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
