A lot of parrots seem to do this. A very simple game of action > weird reaction (fun sound).
Parrots use their loose feathers as sticks, ripping them off and cleaning out the inside of their beaks.

- philwelch 7y agoOh god. Crows and octopodes are my shortlist of who will succeed humanity as the sapient Terran species. Crows probably first; octopodes are smarter, but crows have culture and that’s more important than intelligence because it provides another axis of Darwinian evolution.

My theory is that it seems too hardwired to be a "fun game" and instead a selected trait because "things knocked off a great height become more edible" e.g. eggs etc.
