Hello, and he does it in a way that's really quite rhythmic.

It's very unusual in the bird world or in the animal world, because most of the time when animals make tools, it's for the purposes of foraging.

但是，它們對生態系統非常重要。

They disperse the rainforest seats have these massive, great bigs and then the only creatures that could break into some of the largest seed pods.
