Here's Cookie from the Cincinnati Zoo. 🥰

Those flapping little wings!
And the first time I ever saw a tail end on a bird shake/?wag.

Which then I noticed years later; in some wild raven/crow vids where a human has maybe helped a baby crow, and partly stayed together growing up w the human letting the bird fly free, but it hangs out by returning, or staying near by the person's house.
At times when the human is stroking it's head, sometimes talking in a soothing manner the bird will shake it's tail feathers.
I thought, "oh, like Cookie the blue penguin!" 🥰
