Cockatoo has an incredible maniacal laugh that feels straight out of a movie
You've gotta listen.
This is a laugh Dr. Evil would be proud of.
A rescue cockatoo named Molly was very subdued and a bit skittish when she was first brought into her human family. But her entire attitude changed once she met her new human brother, and now visitors might be in for a slightly terrifying surprise.
Molly developed a habit of chasing her humans around the house laughing like an evil supervillain as they playfully run from room to room.
She may not be in cahoots with her fellow feathered friends to try to take over the world...yet…but her laugh is hilariously maniacal.

Molly family is more than down for her games, too. They not only play hide and seek with this lovable bird, they quite literally take her everywhere they possibly can—from coffee runs to hiking through the woods with her humans. While Molly doesn't startle strangers with her sinister laugh, she does randomly scream loudly when she's in public, which is probably more startling.

But it's the time she spends with her favorite brother that she seems to value the most.
"Molly wasn't always such a fun, vibrant bird. When we got her she didn't trust us," Betty tells The Dodo. "But she was really in love with my older son from the minute she met him. He could pick her up, comfort her, she was not afraid of him at all."
Molly even hunts for her brother when she knows he's in the house, going from room to room knocking on doors with her beak, saying, "Hello," and waiting for an answer. It's such an adorable bond they share and the maniacal laughter is something you have to hear for yourself.

Just goes to show that animals—including those that have been rescued—have their own personalities, even if it takes a while for that personality to come out. When they do, their humans better be prepared for whatever might come.
