HI Tweets,

I've got a question about the birds that stole quarters from the automated
car wash.

Those were STARLINGS weren't they? I'm surprised that starlings would have
that much "creativity" and cooperative skills to pull off such a stunt. If
any birds would pull such a stunt it would be crows or other corvids if they
were small enough.

Are starlings that smart? Or did a corvid put them up to it? (Just
kidding).

Those were remarkable photos.
