Thanks for choosing my spotting for the fun fact! :D I didn't know that they use tools, such lovely and intelligent little birds!

Project Noah Fun Fact: The song thrush is a bird that is known to use tools. Tool use was originally thought to be a trait of humans only and is used as a measure of high cognitive reasoning. Song thrushes often have favorite stones that they use as an anvil for helping to break open snail shells upon.
