| Abstrakt: | Foraging innovations can give wild animals access to human-derived food sources 1 . If these innovations spread, they can enable adaptive flexibility 2 but also lead to human-wildlife conflicts 3 . Examples include crop-raiding elephants 4 and long-tailed macaques that steal items from people to trade them back for food 5 . Behavioural responses by humans might act as a further driver on animal innovation 2 , 6 , even potentially leading to an inter-species 'innovation arms-race' 7 , yet this is almost entirely unexplored. Here, we report a potential case in wild, urban-living, sulphur-crested cockatoos (Cacatua galerita; henceforth cockatoos), where the socially-learnt behaviour of opening and raiding of household bins by cockatoos 8 is met with increasingly effective and socially-learnt bin-protection measures by human residents.
