Researchers have found that rooks, a member of the crow family, are capable of using and making tools despite not doing so in the wild.
"This finding is remarkable because rooks do not appear to use tools in the wild, yet they rival habitual tools users such as chimpanzees and New Caledonian crows when tested in captivity," said Chris Bird, the lead author of the study.
