Description of item

Cockatoos aren't bird-brained after all - in fact, they're pretty handy with a tool kit.

White parrots from Indonesia, called Goffin's cockatoos, were already known to make tools out of tree branches, but now they have impressively passed the 'tool kit test' - only achieved by chimpanzees and olympus188 humans. 

It means the brainy birds can plan which tools are needed and carry the right 'tool kit' for the job. 

The experiment involves using cockatoos' favourite food - cashew nuts - in a kind of transparent vending machine for birds.

To get the treats to drop out, each cockatoo first had to use a pointy tool to pierce a paper screen in front of the nut. 

Then they could use a bendy plastic tool - a straw cut in half lengthways - to push the nut off of a stand so it falls out.
