===Social learning=== Cockatoos have been shown to learn new skills through social interaction. In [[New South Wales]], researchers and [[citizen scientists]] were able to track the spread of lid-flipping skills as cockatoos learned from each other to open garbage bins. Bin-opening spread more quickly to neighbouring suburbs than suburbs further away. In addition, birds in different areas developed their own variants for accomplishing the complex task.<ref name="Conroy">{{cite news |last1=Conroy |first1=Gemma |last2=Swanston |first2=Tim |title=Cockies are learning how to bust into bins and their skills are spreading across suburbia |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2021-07-23/cockatoos-open-wheelie-bin-lid-social-learning-suburbs/100306786 |access-date=24 February 2022 |work=ABC News |date=22 July 2021 |language=en-AU}}</ref><ref name="Klump">{{cite journal |last1=Klump |first1=Barbara C. |last2=Martin |first2=John M. |last3=Wild |first3=Sonja |last4=Hörsch |first4=Jana K. |last5=Major |first5=Richard E. |last6=Aplin |first6=Lucy M. |title=Innovation and geographic spread of a complex foraging culture in an urban parrot |journal=Science |date=23 July 2021 |volume=373 |issue=6553 |pages=456–460 |doi=10.1126/science.abe7808 |pmid=34437121 |bibcode=2021Sci...373..456K |s2cid=236179560 |url=https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/science.abe7808 |access-date=24 February 2022 |language=EN}}</ref>
