  Perhaps this video might show it better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVmQoHX5k20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVmQoHX5k20 Regardless, it's not the first instance of birds using tools, and cockatoos are known for being quite intelligent. We rescued a galah here in Australia (Stephen Squawking) and while he's only young, he's used things to get at other things, unlocked his cage and knows a bunch of words, some games (like peakaboo) and call and response sequences. All that to say, birds can be pretty smart, so the article isn't super surprising.

    I don't doubt for a second how smart they are. I am Australian.
