  • I saw this cockatoo sitting on a water fountain trying to lick some moisture off, so i went up and asked if he wanted some water.
    Exact same spot as this video • Sulfur-Crested Cockato... though they've replaced the tap of the fountain.

Now that there's plenty of smartphones, it's easy to whip it out to record what's going on now. You know?
