Silly Cockatiel Pokes His Head Out of Holes While Exploring Underneath an Upturned Cardboard Box

A very silly cockatiel named Alex, who’s known for his honking voice, explored the space underneath an upturned cardboard box, occasionally popping his head out of strategically cut holes. Alex was so preoccupied that he didn’t notice or perhaps willfully ignored the treat his human was attempting to give to him, so she just set it on the side of the box for him to take.
