Wild?  PC my 7 year old Moluccan Cockatoo gets annoyed (ie; screams at the
top of his little (huge sound) lungs) when left outside when no one is near
him.  He just does not know what to do.  Of course, given a bit of time I
am sure that he would rather be in the great outdoors where he can chew on
whatever he feels like, and could scream just for fun... :-)

So has anyone seen a Cockatoo actually open a combination lock?
