These two lovely cockatoos had a chance encounter at the local pet store.
Once they saw each other, their fondness was immediate. They began singing, dancing, and squawking up a party in the pet store! Cell phones were at the ready, and everyone was joining in.
Both birds were there for snacks but ended up with an awesome play date. The crowd also received a good dose of entertainment value for their trip.

Cockatoo Max seemed a little miffed when Q started to show off. He handled it in typical male bird style by getting louder and displaying his excitement.
Every customer in the store laughed and enjoyed the birds as they played. For the most part, the two birds shared the spotlight. They took turns offering solo performances and slid in a few duets for good measure.
Max was a rescue bird, coming from an unpleasant situation when he was rescued 15 years ago. He has bird-siblings, Tycho and Tikal. Tycho is 23 and an African grey who is camera-shy. Tikal is 44 and an Amazon parrot.
Their owner says they are a “featherless biped.” We don’t know much about Q, but the two Moluccans seemed to hit it off wonderfully.
We can say, beyond a doubt, that both of these beautiful birds had a grand old time. Their owners maintained control of the situation even when one tried to fly away for a hot minute.
Luckily the interaction was caught on video.
