The diminutive cockatoo proved
that weight does not always prevail,
Tor after taking severe grueling for
almost five minutes he grabbed the
rooster in the windpipe with his sharp
beak, administering the death blow.
According to Rhine, the pair had
been at outs for several weeks. One
morning the cockatoo was perched on
bush in the back yard when the
rooster spied him. The heavyweight
barnyard champion made a rush at
his smaller enemy, spurs and beak.
The cockatoo. however, dug his
claws into the ROSTERS breast, and
pulling himself upright administered
the death blow.
