Says study.
Great tits are known for their innovative, problem-solving, ways. And in our experiment, true to form, they learned to scrounge by rapidly following others to the feeding station after it was unlocked. Interestingly, a relatively large amount of this scrounging was enabled by the bird's own partner unlocking the feeding station, suggesting it may be a cooperative strategy.
