Playtime! (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus)

Something I found very surprising at the time is that, aparently, the first thing Hyacinth Macaws do when it starts to get light is to interact with each other in a way that looks like playtime to us. We saw this on three occasions at different locations, every time fairly early in the morning. I'll include pictures of all three occurrences over time.
