How do some birds use tools in the wild?
Quick Answer
A few birds use sticks, leaves, or other objects to help them get food or build structures. New Caledonian crows are especially well known for making and using tools.
The Full Story
Tool use in birds is rare but striking. New Caledonian crows can shape twigs into hooks and use them to extract insects from crevices. Other birds use leaves, pebbles, or even their own behavior in clever ways to improve feeding success. This behavior has fascinated scientists because it shows advanced problem-solving in animals with relatively small brains compared with mammals.
