Michelle, thought the following resources might be of interest and
possibly provide further information in relation to your questions. This
is not an area I work in but I'm familiar with a few of the documents
published on these issues in Victoria.
The Department of Sustainability & Environment in Victoria has a series of
information sheets addressing cockatoo damage to all sorts of things
including sporting fields - see the link below.
a. Reducing cockatoo damage to trees, fixtures, houses, sports grounds and
the environment

There is also a Victorian parliamentary report on the impact of cockatoos.
Unfortunately I haven't found an on-line version of it ...
b. ENRC (1995) Report on Problems in Victoria Caused by Long-billed
Corellas, Sulphur-crested Cockatoos and Galahs. Parliament of Victoria,
Environment and Natural Resources Committee.
