In May 2016, a very sweet little blue parrotlet named Charlie very cleverly learned how to pick up individual gold coins, transport them a few inches and slip them into the slot of a tiny wooden treasure chest "piggy bank" where they landed with a really satisfying clack. Just five months later, Charlie was able to deposit all the coins with far greater speed.
