Having grown tired of being referred to as dirty and messy, one hooded crow in Izmir, Turkey took matters into its own beak to help make its park a little cleaner.
For anyone that can read Turkish you can find the original story here
According to the Turkish Newspaper, Radikal, after eating the leftover rice the crow flew over and dropped the used plate in the garbage bin. What could explain this amazing act of social and environmental prowess? I often see crows take food wrappers or packages up to a perch and then drop them once they’ve fished out all the crumbs. Could be that this crow was simply in the right place at the right time to turn this typical behavior into something extraordinary. Then again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . We’ll never be able to say for sure what this crow was thinking, maybe it just got tired of all those litterbug people mucking up its park!
