Pet Cockatoo, Man Share Bungalow
W. C. Sanderson, who retired July 1 after 23 years of service with the KU power plant, lives with Bud, his pet cockatoo, in a small white bungalow at 1800 Maine St.
Bud is the last of 190 cockatoos Mr. Sanderson has trained at his home. He is mostly gray with some black tail feathers, a yellow head, some orange colorings on his neck and some white on his wings.
Mr. Sanderson started training and selling the birds about 17 years ago, but gave it up in 1955. He said the cockatoo lives about 35 years and can be trained to speak and perform tricks. He has taught them to ride miniature ferris wheels and merry-go-rounds, to walk a tight rope and to give a wolf whistle.
In an interview with The Daily Kansan, Mr. Sanderson referred to KU as "a wonderful University." He said he had seen many universities' physical and power plants and "KU is far above most."
