Hi Pete Typical bloody cockatoo. They sit in the one place for several minutes but as soon as a camera appears they have to start preening or bobbing their heads up and down. I have several that regularly visit my yard but I'm yet to get a sharp photo.
Fun shot - you should get Bluey and Cocky to do a few more spins around the block.
