Cockatoos are so loved because of their big personality and big vocals. But every once in a while, one of them channels their inner rock star in a way that’s downright unforgettable.
In one video, we meet a Cockatoo who struts around singing his very own version of a popular Beatles song. And not only is his song great, but the whole energy and vibe, he nails it.
@fixchixWe’re trying to teach him goodbye or just “bye” but he always says hello. He gets the concept that a greeting is needed but it’s always hello. This felt fitting. #happy #positivity #positivevibes #love #sing #cumulusthecockatoo #dance #birdsoftiktok #beatles
On May 27, 2025, TikTok user FixChix (@fixchix) shared a video of Cumulus, who has a way with words and great dance moves.
If you’re not used to listening to Cockatoos and you can’t quite catch what he’s singing while strutting around, the caption of the video explains a little more about what’s going on.
“We’re trying to teach him goodbye or just ‘bye’ but he always says hello,” the caption explains. “He gets the concept that a greeting is needed, but it’s always hello. This felt fitting.”
Sweet Cumulus is trying to sing the Beatles song ‘Hello, Goodbye,’ but he hasn’t quite figured out the word “goodbye,” but he’s not quite got that down yet. So, instead, it’s “Hello, Hello.”
In the comments, people cheered on Cumulus the Cockatoo’s unique rendition of the song, while others tried to figure out what other meaning Hello, Hello could be.
One person wrote, “I will never get over how healthy and happy he looks now. We’ll happily accept his greetings as goodbyes.”
Another shared, “He’s so happy. Thank you so much for him. Just lost my dad last month, and I need my Cumulus shot every morning.”
Someone else added, “Heather is perfect to teach Cumulus the ins and outs of humility. She’s highly pragmatic, and although she can be hot-headed or passionate, she always knows her lane, though. Cumulus is lucky to have her.”
Others wrote, “He is just a joy and brightens up my day,” “You must be so very proud of what you and your team have done for this beautiful boy. Look at him, he’s so happy , feathers so shiny and pretty. He looks so healthy,” “Cumulus is such a happy, good boy, he always makes me smile, even on my lowest days. Thank you for sharing him,” and “He wants to tell everyone Hello – he doesn’t ever want to tell anyone Goodbye.”
If you watch any of Culmulus’ other videos, you’ll get to see even more of his personality, and he’s always such a hoot!
