A similar group of Australian “cockies” are also figuring out the mechanics of drinking fountains in public parks. After 44 total days of recording, Klump’s team observed that the cockatoos attempted to use the drinking fountains 525 times over at least the last two years. While the cockatoos showcased multiple strategies when trying to use the fountains, the most common moves that led to both success and failure were virtually identical. Interestingly, the team’s previous study on the garbage bin-opening cockatoos indicated a nearly identical success rate in their marked birds. Researchers also noticed another fascinating detail after they compared their previous observations on the garbage bin-opening cockatoos with their water fountain brethren.
