Evidence of self-care tooling and phylogenetic modeling reveal parrot tool use is not rare

Summary: Putatively rare behaviors like tool use are difficult to study because absence of evidence can arise from a species’ inability to produce the behavior or from insufficient research. We combine data from digital platforms and phylogenetic modeling to estimate rates of tool use in parrots. Vi...
