I love cockies so much, such beautiful birds. Really fucking noisy but pretty cool nonetheless.
The ones around here are bloody vandals!
Canberra has had a bit of success in finding cockie resistant street lights
They especially like pulling at edges, if your infrastructure exposes a bit of a rubber seal the cockie will have that
I hate them. They are more eshay than human eshays.
Drinking from the public fountain wasn’t just out of necessity, he said, given there was a creek nearby, only 500 metres away. There seemed to be an element of fun, he said. “The flock would come in, and they’d all be foraging and drinking – having a bit of a relax and a bit of a laugh.”
I've been trying to tell people that those cockatoos are up to something, but nobody listens to dumbass.
Cockatoos are up to something alright. Shredding my verandah railing.
Is that before or after my windscreen wipers?
It's all at once, they're obviously planing and timing these attack to get us when it will hurt!
And people wonder why I hate birds so much, they've just been biding their time, slowly chipping away at us untill we go extinct and they can take over, the crows are orchestrating this, cockatoos are just the attack squad, all birds play a role in this somehow.
If you extend the handle to be about 15cm long, it would be a perch and easy to operate.
@zero_gravitas And this whole time we were afraid of AI...
But birds are AI!
That is so rad.
