This is a video of cockatoos that have learned to use multiple tools in order to receive rewards, in this case using a sharp stick to poke a hole through a membrane, then a long straw to retrieve cashew nuts. Apparently the ability to use toolsets has only previously been seen in chimpanzees, our closest relatives. Now I know what you’re thinking, and I’m right there with you — come over this weekend and we’ll figure out how we can use these birds to retrieve quarters from vending machines! “Or rob a bank.” Even better! You’re not coming over, are you?
