Down in the US, I think it was, a new car wash was built. Later, the owner goes to the man who built the car wash, and accuses one of the builder's workers of having a key to steal from the coin machines. The builder was outraged, and set up a camera to catch the theif. When he watched the film, he couldn't believe his eyes! Several birds had figured out how to go up through the change dispenser, get three or four quarters in its beak, turn around inside the machine, come out, and fly away. Once the builder identified the birds, he found over $4000 worth of quarters on the roof and at the base of a nearby tree! So, the useless fact from this story: being bird-brained is not an insult!
