    The two cockatoos who visit my place chewed through the fly screen in the kitchen, found the bag of sunflower seeds in the pantry and flew it through the house to the verandah where they chewed through the bag and ate the seeds. I sprung them when I came home. I should mention they also got a bag of pepitas out of the pantry but they were not to taste. Mind blown!

      they need a lot more attention to keep them entertained than say a housecat (which are still pretty intelligent.)

    When introducing a new mechanic (lever instead of dowel) you should only have one of them. So the bird sees instant success when pushing instead of pulling. Only when the bird understands the new mechanic offer more complicated things like sequences. Also note, that the bird does not necessarily see the action/reaction chain. When he's focussed on pushing the lever, he might not see the column/block/seed chain very well (look at his head position).

    In the future, to teach him levers or a new action, give him one lever before a complex puzzle so he understands the action. Once he understands how to push down a lever, he will be much more likely to process the puzzle. All of his cognitive resources went into the change from dowels to levers, instead of processing the puzzle itself.
    These are fascinating, and great science! Keep up the good work!

    I wonder if Popeye could solve the water puzzle that crows, or was it ravens, have been able to solve. That is a puzzle where the bird has to drop rocks into the water to raise the waterlevel and release the reward. That though is quite a complex puzzle that many birds fail at. But there are birds that have been able to solve that puzzle. Another puzzle is a puzzle in which the bird has to use a stick to manipulate the puzzle to release the reward. Though that puzzle is quite simple for some birds that in nature use a stick to get at some grub in a tree.

      All of those puzzles that I've seen require the bird to raise the water level enough for them to be able to reach the treat inside the tube, and a cockatoo's beak certainly won't be able to fit into a tube like that so it would need some major redesigns, if it's possible at all.

      @@geyotepilkington2892 Then it will simply be able to fit its entire head in to grab the reward, and you need to keep in mind that a larger volume glass will require much more water displacement for the water level in the glass to rise. The bird would need to keep dropping things in over and over and over, and considering the change in water level likely would not be noticeable for each individual item added for water displacement, it's not reasonable to expect the bird to understand that it will eventually get the treat if it keeps dropping things into the glass. There's a lot more science to the experiment than you might think. The crow version of the puzzle works because crows have a fairly long and slender beak, allowing for the use of a tall slender tube, and each item dropped into the tube displaces a noticeable amount of water, so the crow is able to actually see that each time it drops an object in the tube, the treat gets closer to being within reach.

  • @RamadaArtist
    @RamadaArtist 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    For the lever puzzle, I would have liked to see iterated introduction of the "solve difficulty."
    For example, the first time you introduced it to him, I think it would have been better if each stop had seeds in it, that way, even if he got the order wrong, he could have figured out in one step that the last lever is what drops the seeds out the bottom. From there it might have been more evident to him that the importance of hitting all the levers was relevant in getting more seeds.
    If he could figure out, after getting seeds from just the last lever, that he would have to press earlier levers *and then* the last lever in order to get *more* seeds, I think at that point it would have been sensible to introduce the puzzle where he could *only* get seeds if he pressed all the levers in order.
    As it was, I think there were too many new mechanics introduced at once. Good game design also often seeks to avoid this problem, by introducing a mechanics in its simplest, most obvious form, before implementing it in challenges where it has to be integrated with other problems. Introducing both levers and a necessary sequence of inputs, (along with requiring *more* than two inputs,) seems like a pretty drastic step up in difficulty.

      True. I placed two perches at the top rear of my parakeet's cage, about an inch apart, and set a small plastic ball, with openings in it, atop the perches. My parakeet would pick up the ball with his beak and toss it across his cage into his food dish. He scored a basket with surprising consistency. On the other side of the cage, I used a water tube to put his water in. Occasionally, he would toss the ball to that side, hitting the water tube, although there was no receptacle for the ball. I think he recognized the game wouldn't work with his water tube, but was showing a sense of humor. 😄
