Scientists observe Goffin’s cockatoos dipping hard foodstuffs in bowl of water, most likely to improve its texture
Humans are not the only beings who sometimes like a soggy snack: researchers have discovered some cockatoos also dunk their food before eating.
The team say they first noticed captive Goffin’s cockatoos dunking their grub during a lunchtime feed, much like some people dip biscuits in their tea, and decided to explore further.
