Foraging:
Foraging is simply the act of looking for and procuring food. All animals forage and use a wide range of skills and behaviors to find food. Foraging is such a basal behavior that when deprived of the opportunity to look and work for food, animals develop stress and sometimes visible abnormalities. The following videos will hopefully help people better understand the sometimes dynamic and complex relationships behind foraging and why it is so important to create foraging opportunities for captive animals. Focus, of course, will be given towards birds.
Tool Use:
Humans do it… Primates do it… Elephants do it… And now we know that many other species of animals use tools. Most animals use tools as a means to obtain food. Not only does tool use require a certain degree of intelligence but also extra steps of cognition and abstract reasoning. The following videos will cover tool use in birds.
