[IBLE] Magpie Behavior

blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } I have a maggie here that is quite innovative.  I toss out sunflower seed for ground foraging birds.  This magpie chooses a seed and carries it to a rock,where it jumps up, grasps the seed with its feet and splits open the seed with its beak.  One seed after the other, get a seed, carry it to this particular rock and operate on it.
Do you remember the days when it was said that what elevates humans from mere animals was our ability to use tools?
