Cockatoo on a wheel

Thought this looked fun..

... and as the Science is Fun Instagram says, "Physics says energy would be lost due to inefficiency of the wheel, and it wouldn't make a complete loop with the bird on it. This cockatoo actually learned to move in a way that adds energy to the system" (source)

That's adorably hilarious

That's awesome! Looks like they have hardware cloth attached for the bird to grip. I wonder how hard it is to build one...
