1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: And Amanda gam Nation celebrate the story of Mickey the cockatoo,

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: who was stuck for a month at Campbelltown's mac MacArthur

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: Square shopping mall in Coles. Mickey has been released, so

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: we can start with that so everyone can rest easy.

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: So Mickey for weeks was eluding rescuers. The cockatoo. Well,

6
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: what happened was people said, look, there's a cockatoo in

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: the in coals, and they tried for ages to try

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: and catch it, to the point where they were worried.

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: The rumor went round that they were going to have

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: to shoot. A shoot order had been it had been

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: put on the cockatoo. No one's gonna shoot the bird. Well,

12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: then people power moved in. A group of locals, politicians

13
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: and wildlife groups banded together to save the bird. Although

14
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: they had said no, it was never going to be shot,

15
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: but people said because they couldn't work out how to

16
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: get it out. It was living the high life. It

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: was eating bosh. Yeah, it's a lot of supplies in

18
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: that had a lot of supplic It was eating breosh.

19
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: But what also made it hard to catch it was

20
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: I think the lights had to be on the whole time.

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: That in a place like that, and that's the problem

22
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: with releasing Mickey back into the wild because hasn't seen

23
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: darkness for a month and eating all this strange kind

24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: of stuff. But anyway, they had every second night someone

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: from Wires the rescue team would be in there trying

26
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: to remove it. What happened was that there is huge

27
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: where Waha house styles ceiling, so a giant expanse of

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: space to try and catch this bird, and there have

29
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: been numerous failed attempts, which made Mickey more and more

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: nervous around people. So finally Ravi Wassan, a dedicated wildlife rescuer,

31
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: used an intovertaede approach. He gained Mickey's trust by bringing

32
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: along his trusty assistant called Old Lady Doris the cockatoo.

33
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: So Old Lady Doris was wheeled out and apparently wooed

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: Mickey out because Mickey, as I say here, was frightened,

35
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: untrusting of people, been there for four weeks, he was scared.

36
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: So Micky was released by experts and they are now

37
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: saying Micky will be flying free in a day or so.

38
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: I heard he went near the frozen ferd Isle and

39
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: saw what they did with the Chickens said, you know

40
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: what time to be risking. Maybe should get back to

41
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: the fans. Doris look attractive. Those wooden window frames aren't

42
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: going to eat themselves. I'm out, as Mickey, I'm out.
