a french theme park has enlisted rooks, a species of crow, to help clean up cigarette butts and other trash. the smart crows were taught to put small pieces of garbage into a treat-dispensing box. while the theme park doesn’t feel that the crows will be able to handle a large-scale cleanup operation, they do hope they inspire human visitors to be more respectful.

a couple people have asked me this and i just wanted to address it – yes, it is totally okay to screenshot my posts and put them on other sites. just make sure my blog name is in the screenshot, please! (even if not…not a huge deal honestly)

like other cockatoo species, the pink and gray galah cockatoo builds stick nests in tree hollows. both parents assist in incubating the eggs and raising the young; when the babies fledge, they will join the parents’ flock with them. in absence of proper nesting sites, galahs will accept human-made substitutes.
