Our new paper on a disabled parrot using tools to preen has led to suggestions of printing him a 3D prosthetic beak. How do you ask a parrot if he would be happier with no beak and no vet trips, or a new beak, lots of vet trips, and the other kea playing with his shiny new beak?
Our new paper out today on a disabled kea innovating stone tool use to preen, great article by the New York Times on it. https://t.co/ZnrSFxpPGX

Tool use puts New Caledonian crows in a good mood! I'm so excited to have a new paper out in @CurrentBiology with coauthors from @AnimalMindsUoA: intrinsic enjoyment, not just material reward, motivates tool use in clever crows. https://t.co/l0Jf8Ty3U2 Some takeaways: (1/3)
Now here's something to crow about: new research by Dr Alex Taylor @AlexhTaylor from @PsychUoA@AnimalMindsUoA shows that, similar to a human playing chess, New Caledonian crows can use tools to plan up to 3 moves ahead. Read more on @NatGeo... #ScienceUoA

So we have an exciting paper out today show NC crows plan 3 behaviours into the future. Vid here https://t.co/8XQcEqbRYi. More info here https://t.co/5xxN9MVEuF
So I am super happy that after 3 years of hard work our new paper showing NC crows can reverse engineer a tool from a mental image is out. For a nice summary have a read of this. https://t.co/vmGB7gsYqr
