A friend tells me that they're called bin chickens and that they smell abominable.

If we were surviving on bin contents, we'd smell too. If you want to know more about them: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/offtrack/behind-the-ibis-invasion/6842242

OK, tongue in cheek but I noticed that the bins in the video were either open or overflowing with bags that can be pierced, not secured under a lid.

I wonder if one day they'll study the cast-iron digestive system of this species. We may learn something about survival. The way we're going at the moment and its repercussions we may learn to throw out less food and also eat and and smoke less poison and not play 'I've got a bigger nuke than yours'. In which case, survivors will be scavenging too and we'll be smelling like bin chickens.
