  • Descrição: The use of tools was a determining factor for the biological and cultural evolution of the human species. The first studies addressing the use of tools by other animals in the context of food resource collection consider as "true" tools those that are detached from a substrate and held by the animal in the hand or mouth, as an extension of their bodies. Unlike mammals, birds do not have hands to manipulate a tool. Despite the fantastic ability to use the beak for the fabrication and "handling" of tools, displayed by members of the family Corvidae, records of this practice in other groups of birds are mainly associated with another category of tools, the "borderline", which include objects that are part of a substrate, such as anvils against which prey items are struck, baits that are deposited in water to attract fish, spines to hold food, among others. However, obtaining observational data on these behaviors by birds in nature is still a challenge. In the Neotropical region, these records are scarce. Among them are the observations made by Sazima. Here, Silva et al describe the use of baits by Butorides striata to attract fish.
