Meanwhile in Australia, cockatoos are biting tails of kangaroos and stealing their food.
WASHINGTON (AP) â A few years ago, a scientist in Sydney, Australia, noticed a sulfur-crested cockatoo opening his trash bin. Not every resident would be thrilled, but ornithologist Richard Major was impressed by the ingenuity.
