<i>&quot;You only get 1 beak, best to let the ground do the work.&quot;</i><p>Great observation. This must be a cheap adaption, same technique, different continent.<p>I&#x27;ve seen Crows do similar things. Magpies and Kookaburras also use branches to kill what they catch. Instinctively they smash what they have in their beak on a branch. Have yet to see one use a stick though.
