My buddy's LSC Cockatoo... abridged version...

It tried to climb up a table lamp (sideways, of course). No go. It drug over a box of facial tissues, got on that, and grabbed the lamp with one talon. The box slid out until it was doing the splits big time, where upon it squawked loudly and "hopped" the box back underneath it. This was repeated at least half a dozen times... while we roared with laughter. Finally, it jumped off the box and the table, strode to the nearest of us and attacked. Never embarrass a $650 bird because you can't fight back. Unless you have lots of $.
