Making sand using salt and colored chalks

We gave the cockatoos salt and colored chalks. We asked them to scrub the chalk in the salt and see what is happening. They have realized that chalks colored the salt. Then they could make different designs by adding the colored sand in glass jars. They liked it and they wanted to make even more.
