A special visitor

Tim arrived in with our little friend Storm - a red tailed black cockatoo, who is now 7 weeks old. He/she was a little freaked out when we were passing him/her around, but he/she settled happily in Chloe’s arms and enjoyed us all patting him/her. Now the next question we have is whether Storm is a girl (hen bird) or a boy (cock bird). We are going to vote online with our guesses. Tim is going to do a blood test sometime in the next week and send the blood test to South Africa, where they will check the DNA and get back to him with the result. Stay tuned.

Well done to the students in our class for being so quiet and gentle with Storm. He/she looked extremely comfortable in the school environment and Tim promises to bring him/her back in one day soon.
A very well behaved Storm, enjoying a cuddle.
Wow - I like the look of these children. I wonder if I could live at school?
