Did you mention spooning?
You saved as a jpg. That is why it won't work.
I can attest to the power of a Cockatoos beak. A University student that lived with me, briefly, had an African Grey.
She would often be on the kitchen counter when we were doing something. I have watched her take chunks out of a Tupperware container just like it was made of butter.
Thats not to mention the wood trim around the living room windows or missing pieces of flesh if she was in a bad mood.
I imagine that guy was giving the Cockatoo a taste of MJ. You should have seen the Grey when she got a contact high. Entertainment at its finest.

Hyacinths are pretty rare eh. Expensive rare too.
I thought the Cockatoos with the yellow comb were Sulphur Cresteds.
There was an old fellow that lived close to the hospital. I used to sit with him in his veranda on occasion. He had a Scarlet and a Blue and Gold. He would take them for walks around the block. He had an old chewed up stick. If one of the Macaws got tired of walking, he would put the stick down, one would climb up and do the rest of the walk on his shoulder.
The Scarlet used to give kisses. The first time the Scarlet was sitting on my arm, the guy told me to tell it to give me a kiss. Kind of unnerving the first time to have a huge beak like that on the side of your face. It would open its beak and touch the side of your face with its tongue.
I kind of miss the Grey but don't miss getting chunks of flesh ripped off my hand.
Greys tend to be one person birds and anyone else, (me), was just tolerated.
The darn thing learned how to imitate the telephone. If it wanted attention and I was in another room, the phone would start ringing. I would come running and it would stop.
I taught it how to make a gun shot noise. I would hide around the corner and we would have gun fights. The fun part of a Grey is their potential vocabulary. Not only do they learn words quickly, they eventually start making up their own sentences. A lot of it is just garbled words strung together but once in a while they can put together a few good ones.

Sulpher crested is just a generic term.
We do a lot of work on socializing the birds but they still have pretty specific preferences to people.
The two cockatoos will bite my wife and the hyacinth will bite me if I let my guard down.
Not all of them are super lovey.
