The cockatoo was very pleased to greet its admirers with a squawked 'hello' and a 'bye bye' when they left. The main aviary is elsewhere in the gardens but this bird seems to have pride of place near the hot houses.
Birmingham Botanical Gardens

The 15 acre garden was designed by J C Loudon and opened in 1832 on land leased from Lord Calthorpe's estate. The gardens remain essentially unaltered retaining the characteristics of a Victorian park complete with bandstand. Today there are four glasshouses, a large lawn and some 7,000 different plants. There is also a small collection of exotic birds.
