OPEN POST: Australia's Palm Cockatoos Should Have Rockstar Careers!

Palm cockatoos are the rockstar drummers of the bird world! They've got a unique talent for making and using drumsticks to create percussive sounds. It's like they're hosting their own Coachella in the jungle. These birds are true artists, each crafting their own drumsticks with a distinctive design. It's like they're saying, "Move over, Dave Grohl, we've got our own music to play!" They pick up branches and seed pods, then whittle them down with their beaks to create their very own drumsticks. And get this - each bird has its own drumming pattern, making them the ultimate solo performers. These cockatoos are the only non-human species known to rock out with their own custom-made drumsticks. I was stoked to learn this because they are hands down my favorite bird. Now, if only we could teach ours to do that, then maybe we'd form a band!
