This was interesting... I have a suet feeder, dangling from a branch in my front yard. It's small, about 6"x6", big enough to hold 1/2 dozen bushtits, but only one crow at a time.
This morning, I watched as a crow hung on to the feeder, intentionally pulling off bits of suet and dropping them to the other 6 or 8 crows waiting below. I say "intentional", because it was very deliberate; it pulled off a piece, looked below and dropped it, repeating this a few times, eating a bit, then doing it again. It very clearly wasn't just dropping crumbs or accidentally dropping what it had in its bill. This went on for a good 5 minutes, before dropping down to be with the flock and all of them flying off. I've never seen this before. Regards -Greg Pasquariello Littleton, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
