Feeding Habits Of The Common Crow

Day 91: I would like to take a moment here to explain the feeding habits of the common Crow. Willing to consume almost anything which isn't actually spoiled, crows are frequently described as opportunistic feeders. They are generally wary of things with are unfamiliar, at least at first, but after a few tentative probes of an inquisitive beak to be sure the food won't fight back, a crow will consume practically anything it can find. This is not to say that they do not have discriminating palates; indeed, their favourite foods are much the same as those of humans, i.e., those high in fats and sugars, and they will eat them (as my mother used to say) "until they're fit to bust." At the rate my Park colleagues are throwing parties as their co-workers go into retirement, it's a wonder this Crow can still button her britches.
