TRUE / FALSE: Crows are known to drop hard-shell nuts onto a street and wait for passing cars to drive over them to crack them open so they then can have a quick snack? See answer below.
If the answer is second-nature to you, you might want to head over to Fiddler’s Inn on Tuesday, April 20, between 7-9 p.m. for “Beers for Birds” trivia night presented by the Seattle Audubon Society.
Billed as an entertaining evening of trivia and a fundraiser for the Audubon’s conservation and education programs, the event also will include a raffle. For $5, you can get a chance to win such prizes as theater tickets, dinner at Café Flora and a weekend away at The Bishop Victoria Hotel in Port Townsend.
Raffle tickets can be purchased ahead of time at Fiddler’s Inn or Seattle Audubon. You don’t have to be present to win.
Oh and the answer: True. Similarly, along the coast, crows drop mussels and other shellfish on rocks to crack the shells and expose the flesh for a snack. Source: The excellent “Learn about Birds” section on the Seattle Audubon site.
