Funny Cockatoo Battles to Stay Awake After a Day of 'Being a Menace'
Funny Cockatoo Battles to Stay Awake After a Day of 'Being a Menace' originally appeared on Parade Pets. Parents of toddlers know how critical naps are to the overall happiness of their children. In fact, a little siesta is often the difference between a great day and a gruesome day. Apparently, the same holds true for our feathered friends as well. Just ask Casper the Cockatoo and his pet mamma! 'So sleepy after a long day of being a menace,' Casper's pet parent says in a funny TikTok clip as the little cutie can barely hold his head up after hours of antics! Watching his adorable little head tilt as he heads off to la-la land is hilarious. He's fighting sleep like he's trying to stay up to catch the end of a movie! Those feathers are so gorgeous. By the look of some of Casper's other TikTok clips, this little dude definitely needs a lot of rest and recovery time! Check out this video of him gettin' down to some dance music. 🐶🐾🐾This little guy can even twerk! Watch him throw it in a circle! Casper has all the right moves! He can obviously crush it on the dance floor, and his headbanging indicates that he'd be equally comfortable in a mosh pit!Of course, Cockatoos are known for being full of personality. Some liken these beautiful birds to 2-year-olds in that they have boundless energy and aren't afraid to express it — even to the point of absolute silliness. They can also throw temper tantrums when their needs aren't met, again, just like little kids. But Cockatoos, like many other birds, take naps during the day to re-energize (and hopefully minimize the threat of a tantrum). These naps, not as deep or long as their overnight sleep, are a normal part of their daily routine. The funny thing about Casper, though, is that he's no, umm, spring chicken!According to his TikTok page, this clever Cockatoo is nowhere near his toddler days! He's 21 years old! I guess what comes around goes around. My kids are in their late teens and early 20s, and well, they can sleep all day! Rest up, Casper! We can't wait to see what sort of fun you'll have in store for us on your next post! Funny Cockatoo Battles to Stay Awake After a Day of 'Being a Menace' first appeared on Parade Pets on Jul 12, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jul 12, 2025, where it first appeared.

Man jailed for threatening ex-partner's parents their house would go up like a Christmas tree
A man who demanded money from his ex-partner's parents, telling them their house 'would go up like a Christmas tree' has been jailed. Conor Stewart (31) of Kilcross Court, Sandyford, Dublin 18 pleaded guilty to making an unwarranted demand with menace on May 26th, 2024. Advertisement Garda Aaron Carney gave evidence that Stewart called to the house in the Sandyford area. The father of Stewart's former partner opened the door and saw Stewart was on his phone, with the person on the call appearing to tell him what to say. Stewart told the injured party that his daughter owed a drug debt of €8,000 and said if €4,000 was not paid, 'the house would go up like a Christmas tree'. The injured party told Stewart to leave, and he did. The entire incident was captured on a camera doorbell. Advertisement After his arrest, Stewart was interviewed once and made admissions. He said he was in difficulty and told he had to do it. He also showed gardaí an injury, which he said was part of the difficulties that he himself was in. Gda Carney said Stewart entered an early guilty plea, which was of value to the prosecution. Stewart has 84 previous convictions, including for theft, road traffic and drugs offences. He was on bail at the time of this offence and is currently serving a sentence on a separate matter. Advertisement Gda Carney agreed with Michael O'Higgins SC, defending, that Stewart's offending was linked to his longstanding drugs addiction. It was further agreed that Stewart also owed a drugs debt and was never going to get the benefit of the money that he was demanding to be paid. Gda Carney agreed that it appeared that a third party was giving directions while Stewart was at the house, and the attempt to demand money was intended to mollify the people to whom the money was owed. Mr O'Higgins asked the court to take into account his client's guilty plea, personal circumstances and the mitigating factors. Advertisement Counsel said Stewart recognises that he needs to break the cycle of offending and has signed up for drugs counselling while in custody. Imposing sentence, Judge Orla Crowe said Stewart issued a 'serious threat' at the home of someone he knew. Ireland Father lost control when headbutting GAA coach at... Read More She said this was a one-off incident, and that Stewart left when the injured party told him. The judge added this would have been a 'frightening experience' for the innocent injured party. Judge Crowe noted that 'to go and demand money and make threats of that nature is inherently lawless'. She imposed a sentence of two years and three months, with the final nine months suspended for two years, to run consecutive to the sentence Stewart is currently serving. The judge also directed Stewart to place himself under the supervision of the Probation Services for 12 months post-release.
