User's notes
Observed consuming wood chips it chewed off this branch. Here seen placing a piece in its mouth. It did not drop and this 'feeding' was repeated many times. Although the general advice is they do this for beak maintenance and sometimes for amusement, I am quite sure I saw this bird swallowing the chips.
