  • We all know parrots are smart, but can they solve puzzles? I wanted to test the intelligence of my local Sulphur-crested cockatoos so I designed this puzzle using 3D Printing and Laser cutting. The results were really, really interesting!

      @@TimTamSlam7 A study came out a few years ago that showed that regularly feeding wild animals doesn't actually cause them any issues, they don't "forget" how to find food naturally and so it's no problem feeding them (so long as you are giving them something healthy and not something that could make them sick, like bread). But of course once you stop feeding them they will get upset, as I'm sure any human would be if they got a free meal at work every day and then suddenly with no warning or explanation they just stopped providing meals and you had to go hungry until you figured out some alternate arrangements.

      It's not quite like that. Generally with birds the hierarchy works the opposite direction of weight. Smaller birds harass bigger birds. But that's because they are more agile fliers. They have to wait for the bigger bird to take flight for that to work. So that's why they sit still if they're smart.

      That is problem solving. A bit reductionary. He thinks 'I can see the food, but there is an acrylic screen between me and the food. There is an opening at the bottom of the puzzle. There are sticks blocking the path of the seed. If I remove the sticks the food flows down the slop toward the bottom of the puzzle. At the bottom of the puzzle there is an opening from which I can retrieve the food. I will remove the second stick having learned from removing the first one even if the reward is *not* instantaneous and part of a systematic process. Give the bird credit for the process.

    @abesapien9930 2 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    That was a beautiful puzzle and a great experiment, but I think there could be some improvements: There needs to be paths that do not result in a reward. For example: 5 columns of dowels, 3 dowels tall, with only 2 columns that contain actual seeds. (So 5x3). If the parrot removes the dowels not in one of the seed-containing columns, it suggests the parrot has not solved the problem by logic or pattern recognition, but is performing random experimentation. It's a little like the equivalent of "button mashing" when playing a video game, vs. genuine planning. Really enjoyed this video and what it got me thinking about!

    I worked almost 10 years doing tree service. And my boss would build complex puzzle boxes for the local ravens that lived around his house.
    And every other Friday the ravens would wait for him to put out the new puzzle. And they would have until Sunday night to solve it.
    And they would always solve it in time.
    Some of them were very complex, like 20 or more moving pieces that had to be moved in the right order.
    Or they would have to do the first steps then flip it over to complete the puzzle etc.
    They never failed at solving the puzzle boxes. And never failed to show up to solve the next one.

    Hi. you made that puzzle perfectly initially and the cockatoo was curious about how to solve that problem to get his treat but failed to do so coz he didn't get his way around but when you improved the stability of the puzzle along with those wooden bars that beautiful bird got the idea how to get the seeds. To be honest I was so surprised that the other Sulphur crested solved the problem in no time. What an intelligent bird.

      Doubt, there's very little UV intensity in the ground level solar spectrum, so if they perceive UV light as blue-ish, they'd just see a very slight blue tone shift on white, if anything, unless their UV perception is highly amplified in relation to the visible light perception, for which I see no evolutionary advantage.

      Most birds can't move their eyes, so they move and wiggle and bob their heads a lot instead, to generate a more accurate sense of depth perception. That's also why pigeons are constantly headbanging, they're not actually metalheads... I think.

    PUT IN A THIRD DOWEL, in the middle- that must remain or the seed drops into a pit. How fast will they learn which to pull and which to leave. Would they do it on Sight with a new shape of puzzle- foreseeing that one dowel may be a pit trap... You are all inspiring.

      That would be really interesting, but I think that at least for wild cockatoos there should be a way for them to restart the puzzle (without further human intervention if possible) if they fail or they might eventually become uninterested. Not sure if that's even possible, though.

    How about a similar seed puzzle where the seeds can fall into 1 of 3 directions. One of the 3 directions releases the seeds, the other 2 go to a similar contraption where the bird gets to guess again on another set of 3. Repeat once more, then the last set of ramps all release seeds.
