He does.
I think it's because cockatoos suffer from a failure in their depth of field perception.
Right up close, that last couple of centimetres, they can't focus which is why if I hand them a piece of bread, I have to be careful where my fingers are.
I get 'bitten' a fair bit simply because they can't distinguish between fingers and bread; it's all a blur at that range.
But I think a cockatoo saying "Hang on, I'll just get my specs, then I'll grab that bit of bread" would look very silly. 
That looks like me if I try applying shaving cream when I'm not wearing my glasses.
I think I'd enjoy nostalgia a lot more if I could remember what it felt like.
i love the smell of birds when you can kiss them 
and there breath is lovely never smelly its hard to get a wiff but if they talk to you its easier
i had a budgie (sob he died of old age ) he lived on my shoulder and could say countless sentenses as plain as day and he knew what he was saying
his breath was soo fresh lol
we all miss him every day and he died years ago
I'm sorry to hear about your budgie passing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories of him.
I think, sometimes, that it's a shame that the birds are only on loan to us for such a short time.
yes me to i wish budgies lived as long as cockies
i can honestly say not 1 day passes that i dont think off and miss him
Yesterday I went to a house, they had a birdcage on the front porch with 2 colourfull little parrots in it, don't know what kind.
They got all excited. One kept saying "hullo! hullo! hullo"! For every hulllo, the other bird kept saying "shaddup! shaddup!, shaddup"!
