📋 Key Takeaway

Sulfur-crested cockatoos in Australian cities have adapted to urban life by learning to operate drinking fountains and garbage cans. This showcases the intelligence and adaptability of these birds. While not directly related to Iran, the study of animal behavior can provide insights into adaptation strategies relevant to human societies, including those in Iran.

Sulfur-crested cockatoos are surprisingly smart. In Australian cities such as Brisbane and Sydney, they've learned how to turn on drinking fountains by twisting the handle with their feet. In Sydney, they're even able to lift the lids of municipal garbage cans to get to the leftover food scraps inside.
