Milk bottle tops
Looks like the birds in this area are wise to the old “peck the milk bottle tops” trick. But do birds like milk? I’m not sure I really see what’s in it for them except to annoy people.
Of course, I’m assuming it was done by a bird and that the milkman didn’t put his thumb through the top by accident — but if you look closely, it looks like there is a small hole that’s been pecked (see exhibit A, left).
Anyone know what sort of bird does this, and why? Perhaps magpies, trying to collect silvery things?
in response to why to birds peck milk bottle tops, they do it in the winter mostly, and usually go for full fat milk – they want the fat.
