Breakfast for the Birds
You’re not supposed to feed the wildlife in the park, but of course lots of people do. Meet Clint, who’s been bringing breakfast to the ravens near the Big Rec ball field for the past several years. The birds flock to him as soon as he steps down the path toward the ball field. Ravens recognize people. The birds know the faces of their friends (as well as enemies) and they clearly know Clint.
By the way, the crazy-looking creature poking into the frame of the video at points is my dog. She’s an incorrigible scavenger and so many times has scarfed down things that have made her sick, we’ve had to resort to hooding her with this mesh doggie burka.
