Are you smart enough to guess this crow's intention??!! Let's see!

[Eva]

When I prepare eggs for hubby, I use the egg whites and then I fry the egg yolks to feed the birds instead of throwing them. The crows love me and I love their manners!

Normally, when there is only one crow around, this crow crows loudly after I throw the food inviting the other crows to come, and waits until some do come. Then, they all eat together...how nice :smilie2:

Yesterday, it was a different story and I wish I had a movie camera nearby!

I threw the pieces on the ground as usual. There was one crow on the tree. He did not crow! He came down and picked a piece and took it up to the tree. He did this again and again and left the biggest piece on the ground:confused2:

Before my curiousity arose more, he came down again. It seemed to me as if he smelled the last piece :biggrin2: Then he started picking the grass out, digged the soil out and put them aside.

Why do you think this crow did that for?

 

[Jkm7]

Wow...... that's curious.


Am I the only heart patient that still eats egg yolks from time to time? I thought the research now told us eggs are excellent source of protein. Are they still a no-no for heart healthy diet?

 

[kfay]

I don't only eat egg yolks from time to time, it's the only way I eat eggs! I know, I'm a bad patient! Seriously, I don't think I was told not to eat them.

I think the crow left the yolk there to attract bugs which it then ate along with the Yolk.

As far as eating complete eggs with yolk, my dietitian suggested eating protein, including eggs, for breakfast to reduce that mid-morning hunger pain that makes a person snack before lunch. I eat eggs more often now after surgery because of what the dietitian told me and because my pre-OHS cath. showed that my arteries were wide and clear.

I eat whole eggs ... I love them! My hubby is diabetic with high cholesterol...it is very confusing for me what to prepare to him for breakfast. So, I make him omelettes with the whites during the week, and once a week he eats 2 whole eggs!

No! sorry, John. My hubby does not like me to feed the egg yolks to the crows because of what you mentioned...this might attrack bugs!

I agree with the others here. hahaha.. I am the smartest and greatest man on earth.

Did the crow bury the yolk?

 

[BDMc]

One hot summer day, I had a crow fly into the yard while I was working. It was tame and came hopping over to me. It seemed like it was asking for something, so I gave it a little bowl of water. It drank some, but kept looking at me. I went in and got some bread. It would soak the bread in the water before eating, and after it had enough, buried the rest. It was a delightful visit, it would hop onto my hand if I held it out, and let me stroke it's feathers.

Wow, Brian. I thought my story was unique...this is unbelievable! Similar to your story, one time I was walking during my lunch break around "The Tidal" in DC. After the walk, I sat on a bench and a squirrell came and stood beside me. It looked at me, stood up on its feet and made gestures with its hand as if telling me: "give me something". My heart broke up, as I had no food to give and the little shop in the park was closed that day. Amazing.

Thanks for sharing your story.

Still me, after my husband goes to work!

Now you can stop banging your head against the wall...it hurts

Eva, The suspense is too much. Is this a rhetorical question or will we soon learn the answer that we all crave?

Please hurry, I can't wait.

In other words, the crow is protecting his stash in the tree...:thumbd: or :thumbup:

I'm thinking that perhaps the crow saved & hid the largest piece of egg yolk for later.....something to snack on! Or, maybe the crow read your DH's mind....no more egg yolks for the crow....they'll attrack bugs! Ha, ha!

I'm not a big egg eater. Once in a while I'll feel like having one or two but I usually make it into an omelette w/veggies. Can't stand runny, yellow yolk! Yuck!
My husband on the other hand, can have eggs every day if I fix them for him. Not good but he insists on having them, so......

One of my sisters eats eggs every morning...she has the best memory, the best sight, the best energy, and the best sense of humor among us all!! :cool2:

I love eggs, but I do not eat them daily. Maybe I should start again and eat less of other proteins.

Here are some of the egg yolks' benefits from http://www.healthdiaries.com/eatthis/10-health-benefits-of-eggs.html

- Eggs are great for the eyes and lower their risk of developing cataracts, because of the lutein and zeaxanthin in eggs.

- One egg contains 6 grams of high-quality protein and all 9 essential amino acids.

- One egg yolk has about 300 micrograms of choline, which is an important nutrient that helps regulate the brain, nervous system, and cardiovascular system.

- Eggs are one of the only foods that contain naturally occurring vitamin D.

- Eggs promote healthy hair and nails because of their high sulphur content and wide array of vitamins and minerals.

I like that Janie. Yes, birds, crows are very smart indeed!!:thumbup:

Kim, actually my cardio loves eggs and encourages me to eat them in moderation:wink2:
The nutritionist at the Rehab advised me to reduce my consumption of fats and/or other proteins on the days I eat whole eggs.

Smart Nelson!! You play it safe by agreeing with others:wink2:

Crows are incredibly smart and can make great pets when imprinted from a very young age.
They are well known for stealing and stashing objects which attract their attention or needs. Lucky you, Eva, that you are having great entertainment in your very own backyard.

And yes, I eat scrambled eggs 1-2 times a week as a dinner item; on a nice toasted whole grain bread with a bit of melted cheese and a good helping of spring greens on top. YUMMO.
