Abstract

Birds in the bin It is by now well accepted that humans are not the only animal to have complex culture, and we have also found that ecological novelty can lead to cultural innovation. Klump et al. documented the emergence of an evolving set of behaviors in response to human-generated resources, specifically garbage bins, in sulphur-crested cockatoos. This finding both documents the existence and spread of complex foraging culture among parrots, a lineage known for high-level cognitive function, and illuminates how the spread of a cultural innovation can lead to regional distinct variations.
