Introducing Rustle - the meetup mascot

Walking past the Adelaide Zoo, a splash of white caught my eye.

I crept up for a better look and realised I was witnessing an actual breakout.

This sulfur crested cockatoo was done with their bars and their rules.

He was clear of the gates and sat waiting for a bus, so we got to talking.
His name's Rustle and he wants to see the world.
I told him about steem and he got really enthused, so I took him home and set him up with his own account - @rustle

He wanted to throw the authorities off the scent, and express his enthusiasm, so we switched up his crest.

He loves the new look and can't wait to meet all the mallsballers tomorrow at the Adelaide meetup

Beer garden at The Jade on Flinders St from 6pm. We don't get to keep him to ourselves though.

He's going to travel the world, hitching rides from steemians, bouncing between meetups, getting in lots of selfies and having adventures.

If you meet him, post about it using the #rustle tag, and he'll give it a resteem when he gets a chance.

If you'd like to see what he gets up to, follow his account; and if you'd like to get him to your meetup, reach out to the guys who've just partied with him and see if they can twist his wing into attending yours next.

I was stoked to meet him, and I'm going to miss him when he's gone; but can't wait to see what he gets up to, where he goes and who he meets.

As always, have a fantastic day.
