✅The morning chorus was interrupted by a loud crack. A carrion crow, its black feathers gleaming in the first rays of sunlight, perched proudly on a nearby fence post. In its beak, held with surprising dexterity, was a single sunflower seed, fat and grey. The BIRD had swooped down moments earlier, pilfering the prize from a distracted feeder meant for smaller birds. Unlike its finch cousins, the crow wasn't content with simply shelling the seed. It cocked its head, studying the smooth exterior. This BIRD was a seasoned forager, and sunflower seeds were an old challenge. With another sharp crack, it dropped the seed onto the pavement. The BIRD hopped down, its keen eyes fixed on the tiny impact crater. A perfect target. It swooped down once more, beak striking the shell with pinpoint accuracy. This time, the seed yielded, splitting open under the force. The crow feasted on the nutritious kernel, its triumph echoing in the morning as the other BIRDS watched, impressed by their clever neighbor's technique.❎
