There are a couple of things Aussie kids are taught from a young age: don't touch spiders; don't splash water at the pool or throw sand at the beach; and don't stick your fingers in the cocky cage.
- enriquto 5y ago> don't splash water at the pool why is that?
- phist_mcgee 5y agoSo the walkways around the pool edge don't get wet, which would cause a tripping hazard for people walking past.

- satori99 5y agoI shared a house with a demented Cockatoo once. He was rescued from poor conditions and didn't really know how to be a bird. They are really smart -- like toddler smart, and very curious. They can solve puzzles, pick locks, and have epic screaming tantrums when they don't get what they want. Every. single. day. The video below is not mine, but resembles my experience living with a crazy parrot: https://youtu.be/BB4Qhtuxe6A?t=45 https://youtu.be/BB4Qhtuxe6A?t=45

- crashbunny 5y agoI've seen aussie birds seek out and reposition thrown out empty energy drinks to finish off the last few drops. Apparently they act just young teenagers in many ways.
- lostlogin 5y agoThere is a post here about Kea and it links to a video of them moving traffic cones on the road, which messes with traffic. It is very much like teenage behaviour.
- ThatMedicIsASpy 5y agoIt's not really crazy. Parrots can like or hate you. That's why they can be a terrible pet.
