I'm going to start the week with a cockatoo.

"The word cockatoo dates from the 17th century and is derived from Dutch kaketoe, which is from Malay kakatua. Seventeenth-century variants include cacato, cockatoon and crockadore, and cokato, cocatore and cocatoo were used in the eighteenth century."

For all that, they are very intelligent and entertaining creatures.
