This is current state of my experiment, trying to teach the magpies in our garden to pick up litter, and get paid with food.
Right now, the birds pick-up bottle caps and trade them for peanuts in my machine.
I plan to describe the evolution of his work together with plans and details of the hardware and software on this channel.
There is also some descriptions and files regarding hardware for the experimental rig available on

"These prices are outrageous I remember when it cost 1 bottle cap "
Would live to see the day when this happens lmao
The good old days.
Suddenly Fallout
😂
But it does cost 1 bottle cap in the video
I like how the magpie looks like some guy buying food from a vending machine at midnight at some shady gas station
Magpies are pretty shady tho... I see'nt it 🤣
And seems to silently give the “is that all?” vibe too.🧐
As a guy who buys food from vending machines at midnight at shady gas stations, I can confirm.
*MP, presenting to the emergency room...*
@@Towelietowel Oh, and of course the guy standing by the vending machine at night's usually sellin, not buying.
It now knows how we all feel when a bag of chips get stuck in the vending machine
Did you see the videos of the earlier model? The peanut would get yeeted in whatever direction, sometimes falling into the bottle cap receptical 🤣

This man is going to be the richest man when the world decided that caps are going to be the currency like in fallout.
Yeah probably because gold will not have any function in the apocalypse because it's tend to dissolve because of high radiation emission. I guess.
@It's Ok To Be White perhaps but caps looking pretty cool

I’m just imagining a ghoul wandering the commonwealth with a flock of radpies (radioactive magpies) flocking his shoulders. Diamond City’ll get a run for its money. Who’s the real gem of the commonwealth now, mayor??

Ha! Fallout 76!
All birds of the corvus family are well known for their intelligence. They are the " Einsteins" among them. So they are able not only to solve complex problems, they could remember the solution and adapt it to similar problems. That is the definition of intelligence. Greetings from Germany!
Crows are also capable of using compound tools-tools with multiple parts which are individually useless.
My favorite "crow intelligence story" is the story of the University of Washington study that proved Crows recognize and remember individual humans and will scold people they dislike or find dangerous.

you are right.
It's not funny. It's classic human arrogance.
The feeling when you realize that this bird has a job and you don't. 😔

@@JadetheGoober god people will find anything and anyone to identify with lmao
I find it funny that “bird brain” is an insult when birds are intelligent animals.
It is only an insult to those ignorant to the truth... people who don't take the time to learn... people who believe that 'some people say' is a valid journalistic approach to claiming facts on the media...
I guess it depends on which type pf birds 🤔
It does depend on the kind of bird, corvids (crows and the like) are particularly clever. On a similar level to other intelligent species like octopuses, dolphins and dogs
*looks at the mound of bird corpses outside a clear glass panel*
k
Psyrus ah yes but completely clean glass paneled doors take a lot of humans out on a regular basis . . A lot of broken noses and concussions . . So maybe it’s not the best measure of intelligence
In some garden he is opening beer bottles for someone and his pay is the cap.
This is taking working for peanuts to a whole new level 😂
Coming from my mind
This bird is clever enough to train a human to build a machine to supply food

This comment made my day!
Hahaha
I watched 2 magpies trick my dog and steal food out of her bowl in the yard. She hated magpies, ravens, and crows. Evidently, the magpies knew that, so one would land about 10-12 feet away from her house and food bowl, she would chase it, and while she chased it, another would land on the bowl and steal a couple of pieces of food. Then they did it again. Surprisingly, she wised up and realized what was happening, and fought the urge to chase and stayed at her bowl. I was so proud of her! lol
*tailwagging intensifies*
"I have outsmarted your outsmarting!"
Lol!
Fuck me this exact same shit happened to my dog aswell, the little shits are smart
I think bird intelligence is super interesting. Starlings always nest in a hole in the side of my neighbor's shed and I see them do things like lay out grass on my dark shed roof in the sun to dry it out before stuffing it into their nesting cavity. Also they perch around and talk to one another a lot with their squeaky wheel noises and clacks

The bird understands that the food comes from above and it’s trying to figure out where it’s stored, amazing.

The bird: "ah finally something to do with all these bottle caps for me and the boys"
The craziest part is how the bird looks around in the seconds between dropping the cap and the food dispensing. It wants to know how it works.
Why do all the work to recycle bottle caps when you can find a way to exploit the system? The magpies are smart enough to understand that there must be an exploit.
I wanna say it's just self preserve instinct to watch out for predators/theifs
@@zep4814 exactly what I was going to say, the bird will probably find a way to break the system lol
Dude . Magpie is thinking that the White carnivorous plant is eating Metal Caps and excreting nuts.

@@oldineamiller9007 This idea is probably centuries old
It was a fun game for the magpie and the guy who made the machine....until the machine ran out of food pellets and the magpie brought up a lawsuit claiming the defendant failed to follow through on his side of the tacit agreement.
*defendant
@@Eidolon1andOnly oh man, where would this world be without someone like you here to ruin the joke.
@Varmaji As defendant failed to give notice, and notice cannot be applied retroactively defendant is guilty. As such defended should pay all legal fees incurred during the trial, reimburse industrious magpies for lost wages and other damages incurred, and duly compensate the magpies till they can find other employment.
Luckily there's no agreement. YEET
The magpie could reasonably expect to get payment in exchange his/her service. This qualifies the defendant as the employer and the magpie as the employee. No formal contract was written down, but this explained by the Magpies unfamiliarity with with the use of pencils.
Congratulations on the idea! I have never felt such joy over such a simple thing. This exchange of rewards is simply fantastic and very creative. Hugs from Brazil
Hans, ppl like you are wonderful.

Brilliant. First, it’s impressive how birds can learn. Second, imagine a city where pigeons collect litters! Very interesting Hans 😊
I like how he drops it on the table first, like he's making sure the deal will go through.
You feed these birds and they will protect your land, magpies and crows are loyal. They also collect things they see people with and leave it at your door to say thank you. Hair pins, buttons, things like that. A friend of mine had many stories.
True story of mine : 15 years ago I went abroad to live there. Was very young, newly married, didn't know language very well. I felt quite lonely, as most of the time was home alone when my hubby worked, I missed my parents terribly. We lived on the top floor of apartment building, but not too high. One day I've noticed magpie was comming on the balcony's fence and sit there. I started to feed it. Not long after that I've started to recieve little pieces of smashed mirrors, shiny buttons and etc. It was heartwarming. Can say now, that magpie was my first friend here.
:00
I love crows
And they're also highly tenacious. I've seen crows mess with hawks and vultures before!
@@__Joanna___ that was a beautiful story
Wow, we can clean up all the bottle caps just using crows and peanuts!! This man is a genius!
Absoloutely incredible, both the bird, machine, and video are amazing!
It wouldn't be both then.
I'm thinking of the thousands of miles of British roadside that could potentially be cleaned by birds during the winter months. Maybe now is a good time to go to bed
not as crazy as you think it is
I like the idea first off, but with people being people; if that were a thing, people would increase their carelessness with their trash ("it's okay, the birds will pick it up for food").
Second, animals shouldn't be encouraged to be around roadsides, for their own health.
xd
Nah, magpies are sneaky. They'll start stealing stuff from gardens and houses to get food.
In my city, we have a famous story about a goldsmith leaving jewelry outside. When he came back they were stolen, and he was blamed for it. After he died, during a clock tower cleaning, they found the jewelry in a magpies nest. If ur curious, you can google the story, city is munich.
www.munichkindl.net/goldschmied (gotta google translate that if anyone is curious)
What blows my mind is how much easier it is for the bird to find (bottlecaps) trash, than it is to find food.
Thats what I was thinking. But I just came to the determination that this bird has a horde of bottle caps stashed close by.
This scientist should stop launching so many bottle caps in his garden :D
Does make sense, doesn't it? For food, there's fierce competition among the animals. Nobody cares about bottle caps, though.
There isn’t much competition for trash and funny thing is bottle caps are pretty easy to spot most of the time, also don’t ravens/crows stash similar items like these?
Those bottlecaps are in the owner's yard. You can check his other videos if you want confirmation
This dude gets my automatic sub I mean that invention is literally so cool and smart yall gotta admit
Really wonderful. Thank you sir, thank you magpies.
I also love how the bird looks up at tube before treat dispensed, maybe thinking "where is this foodcoming from? Future note to self; is there a way around this cap thing"
My thought, too.
He gives the phrase "I'm working for peanuts" a completely new meaning.
This is where the saying came from ....
@@georgiahughes6404 😂 lol
Thats probably the coolest thing I ever saw!

plot twist: it was supposed to be change but the bird is robbing him with bottle caps
Magpie: This is the last time I ever eat at this restaurant! The food is way overpriced!!!
YEAH, SHOULD BE TWO NUTS AT LEAST FOR A BOTTLE CAP. TIGHT GIT.
@@imtheguvnor I said the same thing
For real I feel bad for the bird
That's amazing work!
This is the best idea I've ever seen. We train birds to clean our oceans and parks for us!
The fact that it's going back for bottlecaps and not just dropping sticks or rocks in the hole....
it hasn't figured that out yet, once it will I'm sure it will drop any weighted item
I think I saw in another video that the magpie was trained with the bottle caps and the machine works with metal objects only .
Why is English so strange and uses "it" for animals when they are clearly sentient beings, will never understand. I mean I do, in the distant past some people used to belive animals do not have feelings, thing which has been obviously proven wrong in the last couple hundred years or so. Maybe time for a change...
@@nicoleta3985 yeah obviously animals can understand what words we are using to refer to them.
@@Avinashkumar-ec9ov lol you missed the whole point but okay
I'm convinced you could train a whole army of these things to canvas the city and bring you rings, coins and paper money.
Many birds in the corvidae family, like magpies and crows have a tendency to share information and new skills with friends and family...
They'll teach their young to recognize humans who are enemies or friends of their family and are intelligent and devious birds that make excellent friends, or incredibly annoying enemies.
If you train many enough of them to bring you stuff in exchange for food you could end up attracting many avian customers, but don't be surprised when some of them start trying to haggle.
@Sam Towers LOL at eagles stealing people's hats. You don't need to do any recycling stuff if you can get the magpies to pick up rings and cash.
I was thinking the same bro, if you could rig a contraption that only accepted money and trained them to put money in they'd go find you money
i spent a month on the beach training seagulls to find jewelry for me. the problem was that the birds smart enough to understand were getting their reward stolen from them by other birds... so it would chase the other birds away first... and then immediately see the flock leaving and join them.
So basically Harvest
I love how he made his neighborhood birds form an economy
The most fascinating thing to me is that the bird understands exactly what needs to be deposited to get the reward.
Bird: darling bring out the caps, I gotta go get groceries.
Hehe
2 years later: An entire empire of magpies is built on the currency of Bottle-Caps. Occasional civil wars to loot this treasure of a currency. Sometimes the currency gets inflated because one magpie stumbles on an entire dumpster full of bottle-caps, increasing the currency supply in the market.
