So if you were to make money in Australia, what would you think of first?
In addition to a skilled job, or investment in the mainstream market, do you have any other good ideas?
Recently, an engineer in Sydney had no intention of fighting parrots because of a small matter in his life. A small "struggle" not only started the second spring of his career, but also set up his own business.
What other business books are there in Australia that "the sword goes to the wrong peak"? Let`s take a look at the wisdom of the Tuoao people!
Brett Sweetnam, from Barden Ridge, Sydney`s southern district, said he filmed a very depressing video outside his house in early January 2017.
In the video, a cockatoo stands on the garbage can with a red lid,
With his mouth and paws, flexibly pushed a heavy brick from the trash can, and then began to peck at the garbage in it.
It was good to eat by yourself. For a while, a group of parrots flew over and began to enjoy the delicacy, watching the clean ground suddenly become the battlefield of parrots, full of trivial rubbish.
And this opened trash can, is the side of the Sweetnam house road, waiting to be taken away the trash can.
You know, in Australia, once the trash can waiting to be taken away by the side of the road is emptied, the garbage will not be collected from the trash can; then Council will not collect the trash can again, light will be put away for a week, until the next collection of garbage is possible to be taken away, heavy will have to face a fine of no small amount of money!?
Sweetnam said:``There were a lot of birds from the south and southwest of Sydney down the way down the Wolfongong, their garbage cans often suffered serious damage, this is not twice! ``.
The cunning parrot also tried to bite through the lid of the trash can. Sweetnam was annoyed by the parrot`s harassment and began to find a way to deal with the birds.
Sweetnam began to use his skills as a mechanical engineer to make a trash can lock!
This ingenious lock can lock the trash can cover firmly, and the invention also uses gravity to assist in swinging arms, which can be opened automatically when collecting garbage; it is very convenient and not easy to get your hands dirty!
The invention makes the parrots eat only separately!
"I spent the whole of 2017 developing and testing this product!" Sweetnam said.
Sweetnam hopes that the latch will effectively stop his trash can from spreading across the streets and garden during the day of collection.
Obviously, he did it!
Since then, Sweetnam has come up with the idea that if the product is really easy to use, why not try to do business with it.
So his company: Secure-A-Lid was born!
"I didn`t plan to start a business at first. I did it just to solve my personal problems, but I soon realized that it was a great little product, so I decided to do it," he said.
Sweetnam shared a video of the parrot getting into the dustbin on his company`s fb page. Not only did the video go viral, but his products were gradually recognized and supported!
He also wrote in his video an inspirational saying: "No matter what your goal in life is, never give up!"
So far, the post has been forwarded nearly 10, 000 times, with more than 3000 responses.
I believe his great little product will become more and more popular.
After all, it is common for trash cans to fall out of Australia`s windy and rainy parrots.
An ingenious Australian business model
What other unique business models are there in Australia?
The cleaning company that makes breakfast for you.

Although Doogie is very cute, but its habit of defecating everywhere makes the family very upset.

It took them months to succeed.
Their initial products were rudimentary, but after questioning a large number of veterinary and animal behaviorists, they finally launched perfect products in 2005.
Over the next decade or so, they successfully helped more than 1 million cats learn to use toilets, a tool that sold 1 million copies for 70 Australian dollars!
