Look at how puffed up this guy gets when he's mad. It's frightening.

Reminds me of Zoidberg.

Also, how would it fare in an argument with...

an ibex?

And to say I was nervous... it wouldn't be quite enough.

That cockatoo didn't really look angry, just playing and trying to mimic speech (mine does that all the time when she's feeling rambunctious). When they're angry, they'll hold their wings out to look intimidating and scream the loudest noise you've ever heard.

Still, that beak is scary. I'm pretty sure that it could rip a finger off if it wanted to.

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

[up][up] So can we, really. You teach them not to do it, scold them for getting too nippy (they have to use their beaks to a degree just to climb around, and that has to be okay), and try not to piss them off so badly that they'd want to take a finger off. It's really not that different from a very small child, except they can fly up onto the ceiling fan while it's off and crap on your dad's head while he's asleep.

Oh, please. That cockatoo has no game. Not compared to a very, very, very angry cat:

Didn't care much for the name "Burger", apparently.

Also, that isn't an ibex, its just a goat. Angora, I do believe.

As for "the wierdest animal noise you ever heard" comment, I see your goat bleating and raise you a baby barn owl screaming:

Also, there's the ocelot, who sounds like a drunk old man mumbling gibberish:

I always thought alpacas sounded pretty weird, but I can't be bothered finding a youtube video of one.

[up][up] Yeah... although the ones I got close and personal with made hilarious angry burbling noises in their throats.

[up] x 6: There's a deathgrind band fronted by pitbulls, so I now want to hear what one fronted by an ocelot would be like. Also, the tag at the end with additional growling scared the crap out of me.
