The black-breasted buzzard (Hamirostra melanosternon) is a large raptor native to the arid and semi-arid regions of Australia. It is notable for its unusual ability among birds to use tools to access food.

These buzzards specifically target emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) eggs, which have thick, resilient shells. To break them, the birds select stones and deliberately drop or throw them onto the eggs until the shell cracks.

This behavior reflects advanced problem-solving and cognitive flexibility in the species. By using rocks as tools, the black-breasted buzzard gains access to a high-energy food source, illustrating a rare example of habitual tool use in raptors.

Australian Black-breasted Buzzards instinctively use rocks to break open emu eggs.

This behavior is hardwired into their biology, not learned by seeing others do it. Studies show that even young buzzards raised in captivity, without being around adults, will pick up rocks and attempt to crack eggs when presented with them.

This suggests the behavior is an innate instinct, likely evolved due to the nutritional value of emu eggs (up to 900 grams of protein-rich content) and the need to access their thick shells. The buzzards’ brains are pre-programmed to recognize rocks as tools for this purpose, similar to how some bird species instinctively know to build specific nests.
