I used to have a bird that was a lot like Alizée's pets. She was an Umbrella Cockatoo -- big parrot, about 18 inches long (about 46 cm) -- pure white, with a big black beak and a crest she could raise to show the yellow feathers underneath. If you've never had one of these things you may not think of a bird as clingy but she was; she would nestle in my lap, tuck her head under my chin, raise her wings so I would stroke under them, and clack her beak (a sign of happiness).
