Wheelie-bin opening cockatoos (VIDEO)
Caption
A compilation of two clips showing sulphur-crested cockatoos opening lids of household bins to get food out. Clip 1 shows a bird opening the lid by grabbing it on the rim, holding it with the bill and then walking along the left side of the bin pushing the lid until it flips over. Clip 2 shows a color-marked Sulphur-crested cockatoo trying unsuccessfully to open the lid a couple of times. Then it grabs the lid with its bill and left foot, holds it with its bill and walks along the right side of the bin pushing the lid until it flips over. Two further color-marked birds join the first bird to also get some food out of the bin.
