I've always found it interesting to watch animal behavior, and how you can tell at times, that they are reasoning things out.
I just watched a hawk hit a chunk of wood about the size of a tennis ball (guess he thought it was a toad or something), and get it stuck on the talons of his left foot. He fussed, and fought with it there on the ground for a while, but couldn't get it loose.
He stood there looking around, then suddenly flew up, and perched with his free foot on the pipe rail of the back yard fence.
Three or four hard whacks of the left foot/chunk of wood on that rail, and he was free.
You may not find this interesting, but I sure did. Wish I had caught it on video. It was pretty cool to watch.
