April 18. Day 108. Food for thought


It's considered the rat of the sky.
It's a bully that literally poos in the nests of native birds. It spreads disease and eats the native animals out of house and home. The Indian Myna is a garbage guts.
I saw one in action today.  It was limping, clearly in pain or at least discomfort.
But it wasn't about to let that stop it.
It was by the roadside at West End.
There was a lump of food. It was too big to eat in one go.
Of course, birds can't use knives and forks to cut it into bitesized chunks.
So the myna was bashing it and dropping it and stabbing it. There was no letting go.
It was a bit like me at a buffet ... nothing is off limits.
It was pretty untidy but I couldn't help admire it
