It has been about a year since Monty has opened his Puzzle Box. Interesting exercise in memory.

There is no way Monty was more anxious than I was watching him complete the task. So smart.

I have never seen a Long billed corella before. It is always amazing how they love mechanisms like locks, and how great they are at undoing them.

@drmalcolmhughes8508 2 жыл бұрын

I had a long-bill Corella (Caspar ) for about thirty five years before he died to great mourning all round our family, and at one stage when renovating his aviary I had him in a large cage for about two months. He took about 2 days to figure out how to open the door. I then used a few wire weights to complicate the issue. It was not long before Caspar could open it quicker than I could. I then bought a combination numerical lock. After about 2 weeks of trial and error he managed to open it. Thinking that it was a fluke I re locked it but he had it open within a few days. With lots of practice, this time of his opening the door dropped to a few seconds and as I watched he would use the correct numbers and the correct sequence most times as if to show off. Most of the time he didn't escape; he seemed happy with the smaller quarters, and when on one occasion he flew into a large gum tree behind our back yard. I had to get a ladder and rescue him. When I reached him he was appearing very frightened. On descending to the ground he settled immediately. Can a bird be frightened of heights? he had me convinced and it would have been a new experience for him since he had been hand reared in captivity before I acquired him. Can I say that it was a relief to have him back in his aviary where the door locks were out of reach of that prehensile beak!.

Nice story, your Caspar sounds as awesome an escape artist as the one in the video. Another KZfaq channel Birdtricks, who own a number of parrots and do freeflight training, have a macaw that, like yours, let apparently let itself out of its temporary travel cage, which was locked with a combination padlock. It then flew off and like yours, perched on a high place, a flagpole I think. Luckily their bird did fly back down to them, as it was trained in freeflight, and in particular descending flight. From what Birdtricks say, when captive-reared birds that are not used to flying outdoors escape, such birds frequently refuse to fly downwards, despite every encouragement from their owner, because they are scared of crashing. This is particularly so if the bird had its wings clipped when young and then suffered a bad crash experience. Descending flight is a skill that Birdtricks make sure that birds get taught in their free flight programs. So it seems you are absolutely right about your bird being afraid, and it's normal for many pet birds to refuse to budge in these situations. I'm glad glad your Caspar ended up relatively accessible in a gum tree -- I saw a YT video of someone having their escaped cockatoo rescued off a church steeple(!). It took a rock-climbing expert with hooks and ropes to bring that escapee down.

Monty was so excited to start solving the puzzle box that he barely let you set it on top of his cage before he dove into action. I've seen many different species of cockatoos on KZfaq and most of them seem very determined to get what they want. But I have to say, Monty is the most eager of them all. Thank you for filming Monty's puzzle solving attempt a year after his last victory. His mind is still as sharp as a tack. Good job, Monty! You earned those cashews that were locked behind the door!

He checked the door after completing each stage. That’s incredibly considerate of his time management, as he knew there were multiple locks, but who says they all must be completed in succession? It’s as though he considered the possibility of a design flaw that could purchase the reward with less effort. I love LSD.

So awesome. It seems like he gets the idea of the series of locks, but then gets baffled when the pins are too hard to move (when they are possible to move) and just goes to the next pin out of frustration or something. Maybe wooden pins would be easier to get a grip, and would mean less going back and forth?

So around the Yarra Ranges I've seen what we call the greater and the lesser corellas . I think they moved over from Western Victoria cos of changing climate . The change now last couple years however is it's more rain rather than less rain , and so will they all head back to the west ? Our greater corella looks like this one in video except in video I didn't notice the pink napkin on chest . I glimpse a couple of em maybe twice a year . I don't know their temperament but I know I wouldn't have the lesser corella as a pet ( goffins cockatoos ); they are ornery cantankerous birds . But the king parrot is a very sweet amiable bird just as pleasant as a pidgeon . Our bronze wing pidgeons are the best and king parrots are a flirty species and everyone's friend .
