    Default Cockatoos outsmarting humans in Sydney

    Humans thought that if they put bricks on top of trash bins, it would stop cockatoos from getting into them.



    This unique skill has now become so widespread in Sydney, researchers think the parrots are imitating and learning from one another - a sign of cultural evolution.

    Some birds are frighteningly smart.

    Now you see why mammals were tiny little mice-like creatures until the dinos died. The ones that specialized in hunting mammals were probably intelligent and scary.

    Some of the prehistoric birds were probably just as deadly as some of the dinos. I wouldn't want to come face to face with one of them.
