On: Is bin-opening in cockatoos leading to an innovation arms race with humans?

Seems like a straight pushing job, so you could probably get away with using a stick. But someone who has used one of these may want to chime in.

I have used one of these cans. It is a straight push. You should accomplish it with a strong and properly sized stick.

If it can be opened with a stick, then a bear could probably work out how to open it with a stick

That's not how any of this works lol.

A crow could do it if it was big enough.

If my granny had wheels she would be a bike.

Read the directions. There is an inner latch that must be manipulated

[michaelt → TylerE]

The directions just say "push inner latch forward" which sounds feasible with a stick - unless it's more complicated than that makes it sound?
