a smart 30 year old double yellow headed amazon parrot, uses one of his feathers to help scratch his head!

Poncho, my smart 30 year old double yellow headed amazon parrot, uses one of his feathers to help scratch his head! He was not taught to do this, he figured it out on his own! He will also use other objects besides feathers for the same purpose, like pencils, straws, toys, etc. Of course my fingers are his favorite tool for grooming those hard to reach areas, but I am not available 24 hours/day, so he has learned to improvise :)
