OK, we know that some of ya'll are getting a bit tired of the cute, so today's cute is a bit different. You see, NYBird has been tracking the development of a Goffin Cockatoo from birth both on flickr and in a blog. Normally birds aren't the first thing we think of when we think of cute, but some of these photos are just so adorable we couldn't help ourselves (meanwhile some of them are freaking terrifying.). So you see, not just a cute picture today, but a NY web reference too.
And if that's not enough cockatoo for you, check out this cockatoo with artificial legs [via youcantmakeitup].
Goffin photo by NYBird found via Adorablog.
