Few birds are as curious as keas. New research shows how these New Zealand parrots channel that curiosity for maximum benefit: they up tips by watching each other. Keas are notorious for investigating and, in the often destroying everything from rubbish bins to windscreen wipers. Ludwig Huber and colleagues from the University of Vienna have found that in keas, which live in family flocks, social learning affects patterns of curiosity. In their experiments, the keas' task was to open a steel box with a complex locking mechanism.
