Cockatoo
An advertisement in a Hol landia ( NNG ) news-sheet in September asked for the return of a pair of spectacles stolen from a Dutchwoman by a white cockatoo.
There was no reply (so i'il may be presumed the cockatoo can’t read, or anyway can’t' read Dutch ) but inquiries re< vealed the cockatoo had swooped down and picked the spectacles off the lady’s face —and later on had tried the same thing witl\ somebody else, but missed.
What the cockatoo needs witA more than one pair of spectacles nobody seemed to know.
