Mechanical problem solving by plush-crested jays: are tools special after all? by Jimena Lois-Milevicich, Lauriane Rat-Fischer, María Alicia de la Colina, Raúl Orencio Gómez, Juan Carlos Reboreda, Alex Kacelnik

“…Abstract Tool use is taxonomically associated with high behavioural flexibility and innovativeness, and its prevalence is greater in primates and some bird species. This association, however, is not known to be causally determinant of tool-related competence since flexibility and innovativeness are often observed in the absence of tool use and vice versa. …”
