Ancient Cockatoo. — The death of " Cockey Bennett," the 

 ancient Cockatoo, of Tom Ugly's Point, Sydney, N.S.W., was 

 reported in the Melbourne Herald of 26th May, 1916. " He was 

 said to be 120 years of age, and was known all over Australia," 

 says the report. " The remains are now in the hands of a taxi- 

 dermist. The bird died at Canterbury yesterday, after an illness 

 lasting some days. Mrs. Sarah Bennett, to whom the bird had 

 come down as an heirloom, left the hotel at Tom Ugly's Point 

 twelve months ago, and handed the bird over to the care of her 

 nephew."
