Urban ecology is fascinating, in some ways. The dinosaur-descendants
are also interesting, even the tiny ones.

At work, I encountered a squirrel trying to activate a self-opening
door. No luck, but the fact it tried at all means it's either smart
enough to have deduced from watching humans that that button would
open that door, or there's a door somewhere on campus where that
trick works.

 Videos online that show animals who have learned how to use the door entering convenience stores and stealing food. Also a stray dog that watched people handing over pieces of paper at a food stand and getting food so it picked up a leaf, went up to the counter and dropped. It was rewarded with a bite so now does it daily.

I just saw a short item today that some cockatoos in Sydney have figured out how to use a drinking fountain. They grip the handle with their feet and lean forward.
