Sulphur-crested Cockatoo Playing

Sulphur-crested Cockatoo Playing (Cacatua galerita)

I have often seen cockatoos playing. The enjoy hanging upside down and squawking. On electricity cables they sometimes spin round and round. I've seen playing with sticks. Throwing a stick for others to get or just running after them. Rolling on their backs and wrestling. My whole family watched corellas sitting on palms waiting for a sprinkler to come around. When it gets close they would hang upside down and screech as they got sprayed.
