What do my grandson, Isaiah, and the palm cockatoo have in common? I’ll give you a hint. Isaiah plays percussion in the school band. One day at VBS I talked about all the unusual things in God’s creation found in PNG. We have the largest and second largest butterflies in the world, the smallest parrot in the world, the largest pigeon in the world, the largest moth in the world, leatherback turtles, kangaroo and frogs in trees and yes, the palm cockatoo. It’s the only bird in the world known to carve out a drumstick then bash it against a sounding board (e.g. a dead eucalyptus tree). So now you know the answer to my riddle—they’re both drummers. The palm cockatoo even looks like the wild hairdo of a rock band drummer. As you can see from the photo my grandson is more proper.
