A scrub jay can remember when it cached a particular piece of food in a particular place, researchers have discovered, and tend not to bother to recover a perishable treat if stored long enough to have rotted.
tend not to bother to recover a perishable treat if
they tend not to bother recovering a perishable treat
tending not to bother to recover a perishable treat it
tends not to bother recovering a perishable treat
tends not bothering to recover a perishable treat it
there's also the problem with "if [participle]" -- a modifier that, by convention, refers to the SUBJECT of the sentence (not the proximate noun).
for instance:
Animal 1 will attack animal 2 if injected with enough of the hormones related to aggression.
--> in this sentence it is animal 1, not animal 2, that is being injected with hormones.
