Burung Kakatua - Indonesian Nursery Rhyme of my toddler days



          This song was always at the back of my mind and my maid Kakak (big sister) always sang it to us as did my parents during those carefree simple days. If anyone remembers the singer, please verify it but it was a great song though I barely understood the lyrics, its about a cockatoo bird. Burung being bird and Kakatua meaning Cockatoo. 

          We did keep a cockatoo called Cocky which was my pet, I adored it and it would play with me, gently biting my fingers. It died way too soon, I believe it was poisoned by my house tenants whom Cocky bit and he carried a grudge against it. What a pity.
