Australian Cockatoos Behaving Strange - Part 1

[TheCarvingman]

they happy =-D

[cairnsbirdlady]

yes they are corelllas, not sure if long or short billed. they do like having fun in the rain

[setis769]

i dont know why it should be strange...

they are playing. even animals want to have fun.

[verticalsmurf]

Looks to me like it is either about to rain, or it is raining, and they are enjoying a shower and mucking around. If you were a 'too, wouldn't you do the same thing?

[guanylic12345]

aren't they more like long billed Corellas?

[akinnon2000]

The wind catch in their wings so it give a push for the spin, must be really fun lol

[Mahingan]

thats what they normally do, lol

[lucky5orange]

that's hilarious!

[alienhunter36]

thet are not cockatoos

[gryton]

Look like goffins to me. which are Cockatoos.

[ChrisEyeman]

Of course that are cockatoos, exactly so called "Bare eyed Cockatoos" or Cacatua sanguinea.

[ChrisEyeman]

Bare eyed cockatoos is the englisch translation of our german name "Nacktaugenkakadus". In deed they are called "Little Corellas" in Australia and they love to turn around

[TravellerFellow]

thanks for that 411.

[simion11]

cockatoos know how to have fun

[peacelord]

strangeLY

[peakman7]

They look more like short bill correlas!

[mafrek]

thats funny are they doing that for fun?

[tproust]

yeh, it was a windy day, they usually do that on a windy day...

[beastmasta07]

at first they looked like correlas

[warboop]

cool they are babies and they know how to capture your eye lol

[WhackaToooo]

Yep those ARE Bare Eyed 'Toos, they are known for riding "Wind Devils" in Australia.

[maryamsm]

i think they were trying to copy some pegeons lol

[TheEvilMinion]

Not Goffins most likely Bare Eyed Cockatoos, and they're just playing.

[greywing82]

ohh the poor things!!!

[pattyinla]

They look more like Little Corella's, I dont think Goffins are in australia. I think they're from Indonesia

[theeProphet]

those are Goffin's and appear to be adults to me, I used to have one who was a real ham, plus he rode on my motorbike with me, full feathered, never clipped him, at the lights he would fly up in the intersection anxious to get going again and people would freak out, land back on my shoulder leaning forward makeing noise wanting to get moving again...

[cairnsbirdlady]

dont have goffins in australia ( unless an imported pet or breeder) they are corellas

[harryfmk]

@theeProphet If that isn't true it's still the awesomest story ever. I WANT ONE!

[saintfletcher]

@theeProphet They are very intelligent animals. Apparently they have the intelligent of 5 year old children. Or do we underestimate them? These ones are having fun. Fun in animals shows intelligence, as with dolphins, some dogs: not all, and a few other animals...

[MrSchkillz]

LOL

[tsetsin]
