This went from cute to Hitchcock in like 13 seconds
@futurebird @crk5 Did we watch the same video? I'm pretty sure it went from cute to 6x as cute
You don't find this ominous??? What do you do when you run out of hash browns to keep them satiated?!!
@futurebird @crk5 Nah, the mouth's just another hand (they've got a pretty cool finger-tongue thing going on)! I've known a few cockies. They'll probably destroy the car, but we need fewer cars in the world.
@Cheeseness that's how people get bird flu, isn't it? @futurebird @crk5
@jt_rebelo @futurebird @crk5 I'm not sure whether parrots/these parrots in particular can be a vector, but that was something I was thinking as well. The Australian Centre for Disease Control suggests that it is not currently carried by birds here https://www.cdc.gov.au/topics/bird-flu#current-situation
@Cheeseness I was kidding (in the same way you all were), sorry, that doesn't convey well in writing. @futurebird @crk5
@jt_rebelo No no ll good. I appreciated reading up anyway ^_^ (I wasn't kidding though - cockies are known to pull wiper blades and door seals out of cars, and I briefly worked at a wildlife park where one named Cheeky Charlie ate the entire dashboard when someone left their window down) @futurebird @crk5
@Cheeseness birds know what's good for the environment, less cars is good and they are helping. Nature finds a way. @futurebird @crk5
@crk5
It is just as well cockies have never met Keas. I reckon they could do a Kea demolition job if they knew it was possible.
@crk5 do they have some telepathic communication or were the others watching and waiting
The others would have been waiting. Sulphur crested cockatoos are smart birds.
@crk5 OH NO IT’S THE BIRDS
@crk5 @gothpanda someone’s got snacks?! *whole flock shows up*
