I have o say while the story is good the reality is not. It looks like the parrot in the picture with Mr. Churchill is a sulpher crested too, while Pinky is an M2.

Nice story and amazing bird. Must be well cared for to live this long.

i must admit their crests look different. it would be nice if pinky was the same bird, what a great story. :thanks4sharingthumb

I looked up a couple different sites as well as the park site. All say they are Pinky. She is 70, may be getting a little thin on top?

i don't know, maybe? in the older photo with Winston Churchill, the toos crest looks thinner there, not in the more recent coloured one. not sure now :/

its a major mitchell, not a sulfa crested

I can't tell the exact species, just went with the most likely. I have never seen an M2 with a crest like that, my conclusion being that while pink might be an old bird that rides a bicycle, she is probably not the same bird as the earlier photo.
