Hello!
I was watching a coal tit bobbing round the garden stashing sunflower hearts here, there and everywhere. I recorded a video of it stashing a seed at the base of a grape vine and was surprised to see it pick up a twig in its beak and use the twig to poke the seed further down into the soil!Have coal tits previously been observed using tools? I couldn't believe my eyes and I'm fascinated now!
Thanks!
lovely video clip; birds are so amazingly clever; we used to have a coal tit that hid seeds all over the woodland garden we had including the lawn ! Didn't see them using any tools but doesn't surprise me as birds are so ingenious
