Jays cache food for later, so they already exhibit delayed gratification to plan for future meals. However, their food stores are vulnerable to thieves. These self-control techniques may also help jays wait for the right moment to hide their food without being seen or heard. – Learn more ➤ Subscribe ➤ Get more from New Scientist: Official website Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn About New Scientist: New Scientist was founded in 1956 for “all those interested in scientific discovery and its social consequences”.
