It is a large sulfur parrot that can reach up to 50 cm in length and has a yellow pole on its head, and the residents are having a hard time digging through the local trash cans for bread crumbs.



Various methods have been tried, such as placing a heavy bottle of water or bricks to prevent the cover from being opened, or putting sneakers on the hinge to prevent it from opening.

There is a way to completely block the trash cans, but residents are worried that the cover has to be easily opened when the collection vehicle overturns the cans.



Netizens responded, "A bird as smart as a chimpanzee... Do you think humans will lose?", "It is time for more research on how to coexist with animals."
