Watch this genius bird plan for its ‘handyman’ job
The Goffin’s cockatoo is the
handyman of the avian kingdom
. This crested, white-feathered Indonesian bird crafts what are essentially crowbars, ice picks, and spoons to pry open its favorite fruits, making it one of very few species to not only use tools, but fashion an entire tool set.

Outside of humans, carrying tools for a future job has only been seen in one other animal—a population of wild chimpanzees in the Congo Basin.
The work shows tool set planning is “not unique...
