Surprised by the ability of the parrot to make food
In a new study published in the journal PLOS One, scientists show that cockatoos have a superior intelligence than imagining how to create tools of different lengths to ' food
Six adult cockatoos are tasked by scientists to use cardboard to get food rewards placed at different distances in a box with small holes.
Cockatoos have special intelligence.
Parrots are given to each sheet of cardboard. Meanwhile, food can be arranged at different distances from 4 to 16 cm in the box.
Unexpectedly, parrots knew how to identify opportunities and ways to get food. However, in the 6 parrots with a more intelligent animal, it can even cut tools as cover pieces to a width small enough to accommodate narrower holes. Not only that the parrot knows how to bend the cover to make it more convenient.
'They use beaks to bend the entire length of the material or use a foot. Most parrots know how to remove cardboard cardboard that is too short to achieve near targets before using longer pieces for distant targets , 'said a researcher.
Cockatoos have the ability to cut cardboard in different sizes to treat the food in the box.
When using the first cover too short, the researchers found that the parrots always made a 'more careful' piece of the second cover to treat the food.
A further special feature is that despite replacing with different materials such as wood blocks, oak branches . the results have not changed.The cockatoo knows how to tear a piece from a piece of wood or prune off leaves on the tree branch just enough to poke through the hole with food.
