Smart Cockatoos and Rainy Day Fun

Wake Up Kids — Thursday, 4 June 2026 Kids wake up podcast alert! Ticky Tocket bounces into Thursday with silly, high-energy hellos to get little ears smiling, feet wiggling, and bodies moving. Science scoop: In Sydney, super-smart cockatoos have figured out how to drink from human water fountains! They use one foot to press the handle and sip from the spout—no one taught them. It’s a feathery reminder that animals can watch, think, and solve problems. Weather (Lindfield): A chilly 13.3°C morning with possible showers and a top of 20°C. Pull on a warm jumper and pack gumboots and a bright brolly—perfect for puddle-splashing on the school run. Thought for the day: Be a problem-solver like those cockatoos—try new ways, don’t give up, and help your friends crack their puzzles too. Tick tick—SQUAWK—see you tomorrow!
