This Planet Earth-Like Ode to the Ibis Is the Positive Publicity Bin Chickens Yearn For
The polarising Sydney garbage disruptors find a pedestal they're oft deprived of (unless you count your own bin as a pedestal).
The once majestic, Egyptian god-like, white ibis has fallen in status to become the lowly, festering bin chicken that gets about looking like privates on a decapitated swan, making noise, and generally being straight-up gross. Champion for the underdog David Johns, who on the surface would look like just a guy who makes videos on YouTube for fun, is also apparently an expert on the subtle wonders of the notoriously grotty airborne horror show.
The filmmaker has put together this delightful, short, Planet Earth-like documentary on the lives and stories of the common bin chicken. Behold.
There's a brief moment where you feel you might start to feel for the plight of the white ibis, all alone in the big city, misunderstood, and universally loathed. But then there's the "regurgitated bin juice", and all pity is tossed into the wind.
If we are truly to be stuck with the bin chicken until our days are done, and the time of the ibis rises, at least we've stuff like this to laugh at.
