Bottom line: Kuku the cockatoo was in high demand when he was released in May 1998. Most Beanie Babies were made with only fabric, aside from their eyes and occasionally their noses, but Kuku featured a large tuft of light pink fur sprouting out of the top of his head. Just like a real cockatoo.
His cheerful poem reads:
"This fancy bird loves to converse
He talks in poems, rhythms and verse
So take him home and give him some time
You’ll be surprised how he can rhyme!"
