In Australia, flocks of cockatoos staged an unusual incident

They have caused multimillion-dollar damage to the Internet service provider.

On Saturday, November 4, the Australian national broadband network (National Broadband Network — NBN) reported that faced with a unique problem.

Lately, Internet users have criticized the quality of services provided by NBN. People complain about signal quality and unstable transmission speed. In the ranking of providers of the NBN has slipped to 50th place. The company carries millions of dollars in losses.

It turned out that the cause of all the problems Australian companies are local… cockatoo! Parrots destroyed eight telecommunications towers NBN. The damage was so severe that employees had no choice but to totally change the power and fibre optic cables, procured for future works.

Each replacement costs about 10 thousand dollars, that is because Kakadu repair rigs cost at least 80 thousand dollars. And this is not the final figure. The company is sure that the cables may be damaged at two hundred such towers. And most importantly — the clients refuse the services of NBN and go to other providers.

Kakadu to support your growing beak is sharp, constantly sharpening it on something. These parrots cause a lot of problems to farmers, destroying planting nut, fruit and grain crops. However, in recent time, cockatoo unexpectedly fell in love with the power and fiber optic cables.

Existing utilities NBN protected by a plastic gofrey, so parrots prefer to gnaw backup cables that are attached to the supports telecommunications for further padding. Since replacement cables are not used, technology NBN will learn about the antics of a cockatoo only after the fact when we come to a place for maintenance or expansion of the network.
