A neighbour throws out dried slices of bread, fish heads, etc. that are larger in size than handfuls of seed, to the larger birds. A crow picks up something from my neighbour's yard, brings it over here, puts in the water tray and soaks it. While the meal is soaking, the crow will either wait sitting on the edge of the water tray, walk around my newly-planted cucumber/tomato patch, or watch from the roof of the garage. Sometimes, it is only a few minutes, sometimes it is up to 10 to 15 minutes before the crow comes back, perches on the water tray and proceeds to dip the soggy meal out of the water and eat it, sometimes giving it to another crow, as well. I have been watching this activity for about 2-3 weeks now and it seems it is becoming a daily occurrence. Since other birds drink water from the ceramic container, after the crow meal, the container has to be cleaned out and refilled with water. <br> <br> Patricia Dix <br> Greenwich, NS<br> <pre wrap=""> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> No virus found in this incoming message.
