- We all know parrots are smart, but can they solve puzzles? I wanted to test the intelligence of my local Sulphur-crested cockatoos so I designed this puzzle using 3D Printing and Laser cutting. The results were really, really interesting!

I love that UA-cam moved the comments so this was the first thing I see
No hate to you though
I love how the second bird raises and lowers his crest like he's thinking.
I guess it’s equivalent to humans moving their eyebrows
Like a little light bulb turning on!
Its excitement, so yes! He's pondering.
yeah that's what it means basically lol.
I'm pretty sure that's an automatic surprise response. He's likely using his crest to "intimidate" the puzzle as a knee jerk reaction to sudden movement or being startled. But this comment does put a smile on my face.

I feed wild cockatoos in my backyard in a bird feeder, they soon watched me and where I got the seeds from which i keepet in a tub with a lid on, came.home on day lid of bird seed everywhere and three cockatoos sitting on the fence looking at me.
They're pretty naughty... I reckon they would have figured out how to open the seed cupboard if they could get into the house.
You came up with a rationing system for treats they wanted and they decided to modify your rationing system to suit their desires.
Go back to work! You're invading their home!

*”FUCK THE SYSTEM!!”*
"In the next morning I woke up and found my door has been lockpicked open and my kitchen was a mess with empty seed bags all over the floor. I also noticed my phone was missing and after I got a call from my bank via the landline about some weird transactions on sunflower seeds, I then went to my computer to investigate furthen and I found out that all my passwords have been changed"

The Crow did it.
I worked almost 10 years doing tree service. And my boss would build complex puzzle boxes for the local ravens that lived around his house.
And every other Friday the ravens would wait for him to put out the new puzzle. And they would have until Sunday night to solve it.
And they would always solve it in time.
Some of them were very complex, like 20 or more moving pieces that had to be moved in the right order.
Or they would have to do the first steps then flip it over to complete the puzzle etc.
They never failed at solving the puzzle boxes. And never failed to show up to solve the next one.
You should’ve have filmed it!
That's fuckin dope
Oooooh my goood!!! This should been filmed!!! Is he still doing them? And imagine showing those crows a film about themselves solving those puzzles.......
SatumainenOlento ravens not crows. Ravens are very intelligent. Some even say they might be the most intelligent of all birds. And yes i know crows and ravens are in the same family. Crows are as far as i am aware at least as intelligent as ravens.
Yeah i agree film it and show us! We would love to see the wonderful creations of God! 😍

parrots just have psychometric telepathy
These guys are so incredibly smart. They are cautious because they probably know humans can make traps and they might have been trapped before. Even the way they move, everything is so human-like
Birds are generally cautious of anything they have never seen
@@alipetuniashow I mean honestly if there were a huge object in your neighbourhood that looks weird, around the size of you and you've never seen anything like that, you'd be cautious as well.

Reminds me of an anecdote I heard years ago. Little girl quizzes her parents "what bird says 'tweet'?" After a number of wrong guesses she gives them the correct answer...
"Pheasant!"
Now if you've ever heard one of those things vocalise... yeah, no comment. -.-;
My uncle, who lives in Australia, told me that his neighbours fed the cockatoos everyday. Then they went on a vacation and the cockatoos destroyed the wood on their windows
There's a reason Australians always say don't feed the birds
Yeah I know many people that feed birds like that and they end up relying on them to feed them, so its really not a good idea to do so on the regular.
@@TimTamSlam7 A study came out a few years ago that showed that regularly feeding wild animals doesn't actually cause them any issues, they don't "forget" how to find food naturally and so it's no problem feeding them (so long as you are giving them something healthy and not something that could make them sick, like bread). But of course once you stop feeding them they will get upset, as I'm sure any human would be if they got a free meal at work every day and then suddenly with no warning or explanation they just stopped providing meals and you had to go hungry until you figured out some alternate arrangements.
@@Berkeloid0 Interesting, could you link or give the title of that study?
@@TimTamSlam7 there's no evidence that suggests wild birds become dependant on one food source.

Parrots have incredible intelligence and the emotionally capacity of a toddler. A toddler that can live for 80 years and bonds with 1 particular human (if kept as a pet) more than anyone else.
Incredibly high maintenance pets emotionally, physical needs, and in time. Huge respect to those who can give them a good home, and those working in the field of conservation, and protecting wild habitat!
Interestingly, Australian parrots are some of the few animals that have thrived _because of_ human presence rather than in spite of it. Cockatoos are known as major agricultural pests, although all farmers can do is scare them off or use measures to shield their crops that don't harm the birds.
Which is fine by me, I freaking LOVE parrots.
Something tells me a kookaburra had something to do with his eye injury.
Yeah,cant wait for their epic fight in the finale
Grass Cult - #teampopeye
being popeyed is a genetic thing, and kookaburras would not be the most likely to randomly attack a cocky, they might, but injuries often come from other members of the flock or natural predators.
Na he vibingggg
It's not quite like that. Generally with birds the hierarchy works the opposite direction of weight. Smaller birds harass bigger birds. But that's because they are more agile fliers. They have to wait for the bigger bird to take flight for that to work. So that's why they sit still if they're smart.

I live in holland. Here are no animals at all.
Watching animals doing these sorts of things is always so fun and fascinating. You can see them think, you can feel what they're thinking.
PUT IN A THIRD DOWEL, in the middle- that must remain or the seed drops into a pit. How fast will they learn which to pull and which to leave. Would they do it on Sight with a new shape of puzzle- foreseeing that one dowel may be a pit trap... You are all inspiring.
newton2013 This is brilliant. Introducing a penalty!
i would totally like to see this done or at least some other variation
I wouldn't....Cockatoos start destroying your house when they get pissed. Lol.
That would be really interesting, but I think that at least for wild cockatoos there should be a way for them to restart the puzzle (without further human intervention if possible) if they fail or they might eventually become uninterested. Not sure if that's even possible, though.
Its not a dowel.
Its a dial
“These birds are so incredibly intelligent..”
All 3 birds of mine play peek a boo with me and give me kisses. I only teached peek a boo and kisses to one bird.
Woah.
Yes birds live in a flock. They learn from each other.
AWWWW that’s so cute🥰
Same here. Only took my new younger bird two days to start giving kisses. He instantly copied my older cockatiel.

I remember the first time I seen one of these birds. I was deployed to train with the Australian army and there were two of these birds at the barracks. We used to leave food out on the balcony and eventually they would get confident enough to walk in through the balcony door if we left it open. I still have the photos I took of those birds. Very intelligent birds. Great video!
@Sean Bayley Yes, we were up in the Northern Territory in Darwin Robertson barracks. We ran into all kinds of different snakes I wish I could remember the names of them I just learned to stay away from them haha Good times though that's for sure!
Him: this requires problem solving skills
Bird: remove stick get food
That is problem solving. A bit reductionary. He thinks 'I can see the food, but there is an acrylic screen between me and the food. There is an opening at the bottom of the puzzle. There are sticks blocking the path of the seed. If I remove the sticks the food flows down the slop toward the bottom of the puzzle. At the bottom of the puzzle there is an opening from which I can retrieve the food. I will remove the second stick having learned from removing the first one even if the reward is *not* instantaneous and part of a systematic process. Give the bird credit for the process.

That kookaburra looks like it’s just heard a pop song that he likes and it bopping his head to it
* insert what is love *
Literally!😂
“the kookaburra”
*moves head
- Yea, thats me
Most birds can't move their eyes, so they move and wiggle and bob their heads a lot instead, to generate a more accurate sense of depth perception. That's also why pigeons are constantly headbanging, they're not actually metalheads... I think.
Pop isnt music
And to think the term “bird brain” is an insult to one’s intelligence. Meanwhile parrots are solving puzzles and crows can recognize symbols and faces
"Bird brain" is more insulting to the one using the phrase.
Alexandra Viro
They can't really "talk" they just repeat the phrasing, it's what they do to recognise their partners 😌 But yes there still clever animals
Thats because birds are weird.....there are some birds with extremely high intelligence such as ravens, parrots, and mocking birds, then there are some that are just fucking retarded, like pigeons, and dove, so bird brain is referring to the stupid ones
One only has to watch current events to see that birds are more sensible than people half the time.
Bruh people are training ravens/crows to pick up smoke buds for treats
It's so adorable how they hold food, I actually have a parrot myself named loki and when he gets done finishing, he closes his little hand and looks like he is getting ready to fight me, and he will scream and it's just scary..
"And with the Kookaburra hangin' about.."
*cue Kookaburra head swaggle*
if he had fingers he wouldve snapped them 06:46
Just saying, predatory birds do that to get a better understanding of the distance to their target. Owls do that too, it's because their depth perception isn't quite as good as that of humans.
LRed13 that’s so neat, where did you learn this?
@@Casualbystander Honestly? One of zefrank's videos, i think that one was about owls specifically.
@@lred1383 they are essentially using parallax right? like how we measure the distance to stars based on how the earth's position changes in orbit.

Oh boy here we go, war 12.
Next thing I would try is, put in a couple dummy dowels that aren't required to remove the seeds, and see if he can tell which ones are needed.
Also, make one with a multiple dowels that need to be removed, but have two or three that can only be removed from one side.
I highly doubt he would like is which ones are required but he would probably get it anyway

I would like to see a puzzle where the reward is in a clear cilinder with holes drilled into it. To solve it the bird would need to turn a crank whick slowly drops seeds out
My grandmother asked my grandfather to make something similar for her cockatoo once many years ago. The bird had to turn the wooden handle which moved a gear. each tooth of the gear delivered a few seeds out the bottom into a tray. It was quite fascinating to watch. =)
Yeah add this to the top, so they learn to operate complex machinery. That would be neat having a series of tasks and tricks they must do.
instead of going for tricks why not give them choices ... let them choose if they want this they have to solve this puzzle ... if they want that they solve that one ... and so on ... then they choose what they want and are willing to do to get it .. then you not only find out how good they are but what they are thinking as well ... do they choose easy over hard or do they choose fun over boredom ... or food over effort ... or a combination of all of them .. you learn more about WHO the parrot is which is a much better friendship ... because he already knows he can get some free food for a little work ... and he gets to be company at the same time and have company too ... yes parrots are social animal as well ..
heck you could even give the parrot music choices for his dinning pleasure ... then he can pick a song and a food and eat and be entertained too
Then give him access to the Unity SDK so he can code some VR apps for your Oculus
preflighter I was secretly hoping to teach them to drive from these exercises (pigeons have been trained to fly planes and missiles, so it’s actually not that crazy). They’d be better than lots of drivers that are on their phones, but your comment is probably beyond the point of what a bird can do so it’s probably a joke, but mine isn’t.
Now, if we told them to reprogram Windows operating system, they’d probably do a better job at coding than Micro$oft without any training, ha! See that ones a more realistic joke.
My favorite thing about these birds is how well their eyes convey emotion. My dad has a Moluccan, and the look of ">:( what the hell" is his signature expression.

Edit: Waaaaaw almost 1k likes. Love you guys :D
I subscribed to you :)
Doubt, there's very little UV intensity in the ground level solar spectrum, so if they perceive UV light as blue-ish, they'd just see a very slight blue tone shift on white, if anything, unless their UV perception is highly amplified in relation to the visible light perception, for which I see no evolutionary advantage.
@@eldorado3523 its possible that their eyes have receptors that can see that tiny difference and brains that magnify it so they can find flowers/food in that spectrum. Bees and butterflies can see way more than visible colors, why not cocky birbs?

Reindeer’s also have the ability to see UV light, and is an absolute evolutionary advantage because it allows them to spot potential food sources as well as prey. Reindeeers use their ability to see UV light so that they can find lichens and avoid wolves.

That was a beautiful puzzle and a great experiment, but I think there could be some improvements: There needs to be paths that do not result in a reward. For example: 5 columns of dowels, 3 dowels tall, with only 2 columns that contain actual seeds. (So 5x3). If the parrot removes the dowels not in one of the seed-containing columns, it suggests the parrot has not solved the problem by logic or pattern recognition, but is performing random experimentation. It's a little like the equivalent of "button mashing" when playing a video game, vs. genuine planning. Really enjoyed this video and what it got me thinking about!

Ik, imagine kicking a ball and then running away because it moved 😂
I would love to see these upgrades with pins that can only be pulled out in one direction. So he has to pull one out from the front side and another from the back. You could add this in addition to the normal pins to try and confuse him. Also, I'd like to see more pins and channels which lead to "traps", where the seed will be caught. This means that he'd have to experiment and remember which routes did and didn't work from day to day (long term planning and memory, since the puzzle is reset each day). Lastly, I think it would be cool to add an area that at first is a trap until it is rotated by some amount (90 or 180deg. perhaps). By traps, I simply mean dead ends.
Coulombic Distortion traps seem a little much. Like a "completely failed the puzzle and needs a human to restart it" type of trap?
what about a puzzle to test his spacial awarness. maybe a puzzle about rotating sections, like a series of gumball machines

TBF sometimes I get startled when I touch something and it breaks or gives in an unexpected way. I assume it's some kind of reflex to keep us from coming on contact with insects or snakes if we touch like a tree and it breaks away to a hollow space
There's a device called a "crow box" that teaches wild crows to put coins into a funnel in exchange for food. Perhaps you could modify it to teach parrots and use your local wild parrots to bring you coins they find on the street. They might even turn you a profit!
Nooooo....this clever birds will start breaking in peoples homes to steal coins...Next thing is that they form their own currency and invent banks....(I truly think that they would start stealing money from people. Really!)
@@SatumainenOlento Teach them to say "Can you spare some change, mate?" and then they don't have to steal!
@Novie_ GachaplaysUwU I mean... it's a service. The birds get food, and the person gets coins. Which they can use to buy more bird food for more birds. It's a self sustaining system.
Novie_ GachaplaysUwU bruh that's not how slavery works
@Novie_ GachaplaysUwU He puts the food in the box, which the parrots buy with the coins, that are used to buy more food. It's just a market like every other.
"There call is just so lovely"
*2 seconds later ÆUUUGH*
Oof
Why oof..? ._.
bird was like “X Æ A-12”
Wait until you have an entire flock of them settle outside your bedroom window at 6am. Got to love the dawn chorus. So lovely!

Wow, this cockatoo is smarter than the people in mobile game ads.

Neighbor's creepy child standing in your driveway: HI.
Emm_er probably just looking at the bird, I know I would stand and watch too
How about tool use? Like a hooked stick to grab a "basket" of seeds.

Isn't nature amazing. Maybe we can learn from this?
Human at school: Licks book
Ah yes, I understand everything now.
I mean, kids put EVERYTHING in their mouths.
@@Galeriarch im WEAK
The parrot would also lick the books
@@Galeriarch lmaoooo
@@Galeriarch DUDE 😂😭
I'd be really interested to see whether how generally he knows how to solve the puzzle. Can he do it with different coloured parts? Can he do it when he can't see the the seeds? Can we do it with more dowels? Can he learn a version where the order matters?
Those are really great ideas! This needs more likes.
Would love to see if he would recognize the puzzle when it doesn't have transparent sides anymore - I'm guesing he'd just go straight for the dowels again
I'd love to see a version where there's 3 dowels, and if he removes the wrong one, the seeds fall somewhere he can't access them.
Even better if you can mirror this design, and he has to figure out what dowel to remove each time.
@@Hirosjimma In that case, Maker's Muse is going to see just how destructive a frustrated parrot can get! :D They want the food because it is offered to them if you want to see a parrot cry, deny them their reward, and see just what lengths they go to, to get at it! :D
I've little doubt that Popeye would know exactly what to do if the sides were replaced with opaque acrylic sheet
I think even TierZoo recently just released a video about parrots too, parrots are extremely intelligent animals and it was really nice to see it solve a 3D puzzle
How do you have so many subs please explain
who are you and why do you watch everything i do
I see this guy everywhere i go
"Keeping the eye out"
Oh, i see what you did there...
Make a puzzle where he first has to "flick" a lever which determines if the bird seeds are guided to the output or fall into an internal chamber where they can't be retrieved from.
Then he has to remove the dowel to make the seeds fall. That way you can see if he is smart enough to predict how the seeds are going to fall.
too smart for the boy
Me: of course the bird is gonna solve it! birds are so smart.. "looks over to my bird" right albert?
Albert: eating his poop
Albert is trying his best.
Not all birds are bright, some were dropped while still in their eggs, but when that happens they can dance instead of sing...
That could be my budgies lol Im laughing too hard
Poor little bugger. You picked out a disabled one
You put the actions in quotation this is how us humans have become
He doesn’t know it but this guy struck a gold mine he found the parrot community...
Very polite of the cockatoo to leave the dowels on the railing instead of dropping them over the side!
They are more intelligent than most people in my town...
Including you lmao
Same.
@@redwingchronicle7974 Lol. Dude, don't humiliate smbd's logical abilities;')

And why did u make this comment? So predictable and toxic
Man: *sees a random parrot*
Becomes an engineer just to toy with it.
Thank you for the mention! We really appreciate it!
No worries! Thanks for your hard work!
When Popeye went to investigate the mic, all I could think of was him screaming into it and breaking all of our ears
And humans think animals are stupid. Humans need to watch this and Mark Rober's Squirrel Ninja Warrior course
I mean, Im not positive about this, but I don’t think there aren’t very many humans that think animals are stupid.
Stupid is a strong word but we can't compare the intelligence of humans and animals. Think about how impressed you are that a bird solved this puzzle instead of that the fact that a human created the puzzle. We're not on the same level of mental capacity as lesser animals.
You got me 😂😂😂😂
Compared to humans animals are pretty dumb. I mean we went to the fucking moon while this bird gets praise for solving a simple puzzle a 2 year old could easily solve
Yes, that squirrel ninja course was epic. Throughly enjoyed watching the squirrels navigate the course.
2 years later, youtube recommendation algorithm: Hi, here's a video that a wild parrot hacked into a server to unlock the electronic lock for some food.
Interesting.
UA-cam Algorithm BRUH🤣
Why would an electronic lock be connected to a server?
Welp, Hi youtubers from 2022.

OH yea keep up the puzzles. Maybe a rotating one with a paddle wheel, one way clutch and crank handle. I'm in Penrith and we've got cockatoos everywhere. My favorite though are Lorikeets.
Ron Hunn im in windsor n we get the correllas by the hundred.
Lorries evertwhere too.
Gordon, I've got wild cockatoos and lorikeets that will literally eat from my hand
Hi. you made that puzzle perfectly initially and the cockatoo was curious about how to solve that problem to get his treat but failed to do so coz he didn't get his way around but when you improved the stability of the puzzle along with those wooden bars that beautiful bird got the idea how to get the seeds. To be honest I was so surprised that the other Sulphur crested solved the problem in no time. What an intelligent bird.
"bird-brain", is the most inaccurate insult ever coined.
Jelly fish brain .. oh wait...
Honestly
It's more like, pig brain
bird brain used as a derogatory term for a simple or stupid minded person is actually propaganda which the robopigeons use to keep us humans in check
@@rowanwild8445 pigs are actually smarter than your dog , crazy .... it just a domesticated pig don't have any survival Instinct.
Please more! ♥
Love your channel ❤️ your vids make my day.
the legend spoke
What if he had extra dowels he didn't have to remove? Would he pull them off or just tried the right ones?
Maybe have a version with flip switches so that he can correct his mistake if he gets the wrong combination and then require the correct combination of flipped switches to unlock the puzzle's reward...
I envy you, having wild parrot visit you. Parrots are very smart. People don’t get they are better than dogs, unconditional love and they can speak. I miss my parrot

@Tacos . It's "Cockatoo" lol
Jarom Toy In Australia the cockatoo is often called a ‘cocky’ or ‘cockies’ for short, it comes from the Dutch word Kaketoe. Dutch explorers coined the term in the 15th century which was adapted originally from a Malay word.
bellabana Interesting! Thanks for sharing. We don’t have many of these birds (or they aren’t very popular) in the states, which may be why I’ve never heard them called “cockies”. Thanks again for sharing!
