Marauding cockatoos thwarted by bin lid invented by men's shed

Residents of the scenic Great Ocean Road are at their wits' end after the increasingly intelligent birds learnt how to lift the lids of wheelie bins, spreading rubbish through the town of Lorne.

@joannaholman I recall a similar story with bins & bears, somewhere in Canada. The solution was a more complex locking mechanism on the bin, but this either frustrated or thwarted some of the humans, who would then leave their garbage bag at the side of the bin. A ranger commented “It seems there is some overlap between the IQ of the bears and our townspeople.”
