Birds are just so intelligent, and it really makes sense to me that they would learn from each other. It seems to be how many species learn things, like the old saying "onkey see, monkey do". If you have one dig that digs under the fence and escapes, then soon any other dogs that you have will also learn to dig under the fence to get out.
Our pets also watch us and imitate what they see us doing. We have several little stepping stones (actually concrete block squares) in the front yard to walk on instead of walking on the grass or dirt, especially when it is wet out.
I noticed that when I let Chipper out in the front yard, he carefully hops from one stepping stone to the next one, just like he has watched me to do. Tootsie never pays any ttention to that kind of thing, and she just runs out the door and acros the yard to see if there are any squirrels to chase; but Chipper seems to watch everything that I do.
