I'm On Tik Tok

Hi friends!  I just joined Tik Tok and have an account with some fun videos of myself there if you would like to check it out.  My Tik Tok name is christhecockatoo, which is also my name for my Facebook page and my Instagram account if you would like to follow me anywhere. 

In the meantime Happy Passover & Happy Easter to all!!

In The Top Ten

It's so exciting, not only did I have my first celebrity/celebirdy interview in March, it made the top ten columns in WhomYouKnow.com for the month.

Of course, I'm not surprised, because of how curious humans are about cockatoos in general and me specifically.  I will continue to do my part to entertain mankind! 

Many thanks to #WhomYouKnow and #PeachyDeegan

More Modeling For Walmart

I did my second modeling job for Walmart in December.  It was a lot of fun.  The director was the same as the year before and I really like him.  He let me sit on his shoulder and watch the production.

Walmart put the photos on their Instagram page in the Pet Stories.  Here's the link below.  Make sure you watch all the way to the end to see all of my photos.

My co-star was a kitty named Salvador Dali.  He was very chill and very professional.

When I arrive on a set I like to observe what's going on and get the lay of the land.

I got to keep the bow ties I modeled.  I really like them!

My Saturday Night Live Appearance With Daniel Craig!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of starring in an SNL sketch with Daniel Craig, Kate McKinnon, Chloe Fineman, Cecily Strong and Kenan Thompson, called The Sands of Modesto.  I played a cockatoo named Charles and I sat on Daniel Craig's arm.  Here is the clip:

The Sands of Modesto

I love being on the set, and getting to work with a major movie star like Daniel Craig was such a thrill!  He was a bird whisperer.  Mom showed him how to hold me and he did a great job.  He talked to me and he pet me and held me so I would feel secure.  As you can see from watching the clip we made a great team and I know exactly when to look right at the camera. 

This was my second time on SNL.  It's so much fun on the set.  Everyone was very nice to me.  When I left the stage after the live show and we walked out into the hallway everyone started cheering for me and clapping because I nailed the scene!   I hope I get to go back again soon!

Here are some fun photos from the scene and behind the scenes:

The super cool photo SNL posted on Instagram.

We were perfectly in sync.

Don't we make a great team?

This is the second time I've worked with Kate McKinnon

There's a lot of down time in between rehearsals 

so I explored the studio

Cast member Chloe Fineman is so nice.  

After our sketch was over we took a photo together.

This is Joe, he builds the sets.  He made me the wood toy he's holding.  

He did the same thing for me when I was on the set in 2012.  He's a cool guy.

Getting a blow dry in hair & make up just for fun.
