I noticed this weird behaviour at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney -
Sulphur crested cockatoos were digging quite straight furrows in the ground
with their bills, in the soil directly under the canopy of a fig tree. I
couldn't see them extracting anything from the soils such as grubs or
anything.
