Mysterious Cone Scattering at a New Zealand Tunnel
The chapter discusses the peculiar situation at a road tunnel entrance in New Zealand's South Island where traffic cones are repeatedly scattered, sparking a humorous debate on whether it was due to human drivers treating the cones like bowling pins or the involvement of animals like sheep or intelligent parrots. The conversation delves into the amplification of wind in tunnels, New Zealand's unique weather conditions, and anecdotes about the mischievous behavior of local Kia birds. The chapter also touches on human behavior experiments with cones, parallels in bird intelligence with crows, and the antics of the kia parrots in causing disruptions for food.
