Boys will be boysā¦
If you noticed an oddly placed cockatoo amid Bayern Munichās championship celebration, well, there is a story behind that.
It appears that the trinket was on display at the KƤfer restaurant, where the team watched Bayer Leverkusenās 2-2 draw with SC Freiburg last week. Of course, that tie clinched the Meisterschale for the Bavarians and the boys decided to engage in a little mischief: The cockatoo that featured in Bayernās title celebration today was at the KƤfer restaurant where the team celebrated the title last weekend. The players apparently liked it so much that they took it as a mascot, but nobody wanted to say who āstoleā it
The cockatoo has become a quirky mascot for Bayern Munich, symbolizing their lighthearted spirit during title celebrations.
The team took the cockatoo from the KƤfer restaurant after celebrating their title there, and the restaurant owner allowed them to keep it for future celebrations.
Leon Goretzka handled the cockatoo during the celebration, and players like Musiala and Urbig humorously commented on its presence.

⢠Musiala: āIām seeing it for the first timeā
⢠Urbig: āIt definitely wasnāt me who stole itā
⢠Kompany: āWeāll give it backā The restaurant owner let Bayern Munich keep the bird and now it is constant for celebrations with the squad. Leon Goretzka handled the bird (aka *Meister-Kakadu*, which you can see on the championship t-shirts) after the match: This shows the closeness of unique humor of this group to be able to run back something so obscure from a year ago. Hopefully, this will be one of those traditions that dies hard ā it is always fun to have this kind of quirky behavior with a team. *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributorā¦*
