Australia’s trash bin-raiding cockatoos

Years back when I lived in South Morang, they would go house to house digging through the rubbish bins. Even if you put bricks on the lids, they would team up to topple them off and get the lid open.

Nowadays I live a little further south, we have clouds of screaming Cockies every morning. I wouldn't dare feed them for fear they would bring the entire hoard.

They are cool birds bu very... independent if you will.

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to place a jack-in-the-box. :)

I'd be worried they'd plot some kind of revenge.
