Abstract in brief

  • Goffin cockatoos demonstrate the ability to wait for better quality or larger quantities of food, showing flexible impulse control.
  • The birds can delay their gratification for up to 80 seconds for better food quality and 20 seconds for more food, which is longer than previously observed in nonhuman animals.
  • This study provides new evidence that Goffin cockatoos, unlike some other animals, can exhibit temporal discounting and delay gratification without caching food.]
