@sonjawild.bsky.social @galarconnieto.bsky.social & @lucymaplin.bsky.social show that young #GreatTits, which have limited #ParentalCare, learn to solve a foraging #puzzle socially, but rather than parents, siblings & non-parental adults are preferred role models @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/46JZn6n
A juvenile great tit solves a foraging puzzle by pushing a sliding door to the left while being observed by two other juvenile birds. Image credit: Sonja Wild.
