Beakless kea Bruce uses tools to clean himself upđ€đł
Researchers have made a remarkable discovery by documenting the first documented case of parrots using personal grooming tools. They discussed the story of a disabled parakeet named Bruce, who was found by a family living in New Zealand.
Anyway Bruce has shown an amazing ability to adapt to his disability. To take care of himself, they use pebbles.
For several days, scientists made research for this bird and found that its actions are not a coincidence. The study showed that in more than 90% of the cases, Bruce used pebbles for personal care. When he dropped a stone, he either picked it up or put it back in place to continue his decorating routine and did so 95% of the time.
Bruce was selectively picking certain sized rocks for cleaning, and not just using the random pebbles available nearby. None of the other parrots in that area used the pebbles for grooming.
The ability of compensating the limitations is unique in our nature. It shows flexibility and how smart Kea parrots are. They have demonstrated their adaptability to new challenges, demonstrating an impressive range of their intellectual skills.
