A Spoonful of Whimsy: Tiago Has Breakfast Service Figured Out
A Spoonful of Whimsy: Meet Tiago, a donkey residing on a family farm in the Azores, Portugal. Tiago likes to stop by the kitchen window for a treat — and somewhere along the way, this sweet boy figured out how to slide the window open all by himself.
According to his family, Tiago visits the window for breakfast and scratches so regularly that opening it apparently became one more part of the routine. Why wait for table service when you already know how the restaurant works?

The footage dates back to June 4, 2023, and comes from a farm where Tiago shares the place with quite the crew: dogs, a cat, mini pigs, bunnies, chickens and ducks. His family described him as both “sweet and super smart” — which feels difficult to argue with once you watch him operate a window like a regular customer arriving for his usual.
There is something especially charming about an animal learning one tiny piece of the human world purely because it improves snack access. No grand trick. No elaborate training routine. Just Tiago, a sliding window and the confidence of someone who knows breakfast is on the other side.
Honestly, if the kitchen window opened directly onto our favorite treats, we’d probably learn the mechanism too.
