  • I read something about this recently but I can’t remember where or find the article at the moment.

    These are sometimes installed at high-risk intersections. At these locations, it is thought that people become accustomed to seeing ordinary stop signs, fail to notice them, and fail to stop.

    The idea is that drivers unconsciously notice something is different and so these signs gain attention, hopefully restoring the original purpose of the sign.









  • What country are you from? In suburban Melbourne, Australia, I regularly see wild sulphur-crested cockatoos, galahs, rainbow lorikeets (ok not cockatoos, but they are parrots), and occasionally gang-gangs. Flying around, in trees, in parks and gardens. I’d be surprised if most places in Australia didn’t regularly see wild cockatoos.

    Do other countries have wild parrots and/or cockatoos?
