The Love Affair Between Iggy Pop & His Cockatoo Is the Sweetest Thing You'll See Today

Do you ever sit around, wondering what Iggy Pop’s home life looks like? Like does he cook his own dinners, and if so, are they good meals or sad soup over the kitchen sink? Is he a rock star at home or just a quiet, nearly 70-year-old, nearly-retired man?

I din’t know I had these questions until I saw how Iggy actually spends his time, and it turned out to be more spectacular than anything I could have imagined. Because Iggy Pop, proto-punk crazy rock king Iggy Pop, is clearly, visibly, madly in love with his pet cockatoo.

The bird (BIGGY POP!) has its own Instagram account, only a few weeks old now but full of tender moments like this intimate grooming session.

Sometimes they just hang out listening to Iggy’s music, sharing the mildest dance party.

Sometimes there are private concerts, with considerably less mild dancing.


But look at those cuddles.


That’s some serious love.
