Random cockatoo/FAANG story: I had an all-hands meeting earlier this year at Netflix, with me remote in Sydney, and a cockatoo knocked on my glass office door wanting to be let in -- so I'm saying "stop it! stop it!" when I realized my mic was on, and I'd said that to the whole org as my new manager was speaking. I quickly explained to everyone that I wasn't criticizing the meeting, oh no, I was actually talking to a bird that was knocking on the door.
I then felt it best to post a video of the bird knocking so people didn't think I was crazy. They knock with their beak: tap tap tap. Gets annoying when they do it at 6am to wake you up.
Recently I have noticed cockatoos raiding the bins in Sydney, it's definitely a thing.
Wait, why does a cockatoo ask to enter your home? I'm in US so to me these birds are generally best left in cages, last time I visited the bird sanctuary, one of them started angrily chasing a lady around
