For a long time, episodic memory—the ability to recall specific past events (what, where, and when)—was thought to belong only to humans. Western scrub-jays have disproven this. In landmark studies, these birds cached (stored) different types of food. They learned that one type of food (wax moths) decayed quickly, while another (peanuts) lasted longer. When allowed to recover their caches, the jays did not search randomly. They specifically went to the sites where peanuts were stored after a long delay, and to the wax moth sites immediately after caching. This shows they remembered what they hid, where they hid it, and when they hid it.
