Band of Birds Steal $4000

Offbeat — August 13, 2008 at 13:00

Bill is the owner of a company that manufactures and installs car wash systems. Bill installed one of these systems in in Frederick, MD. The issue arose when the buyer complained he was losing significant amounts of money each day. He even accused Bill and his employees of ripping him off.

Naturally, Bill proceeded towards investigating the issue. He decided to mount a video camera to see who exactly is stealing all the coins. Imagine his surprise when he saw several birds carrying all the coins in their nest. After following the birds, he discovered its quarters on the top of a car wash and more in a tree, an estimated amount of $4,000.

    Trivia time: anyone want to tell me what bird that is ? (it is photoshopped very clearly when you look at the beak, it is also a very common bird that flies in large flocks above US highways on the East coast when it migrates) This bird was introduced a long time ago and is now considered an invasive species. Think Shakespeare....

    Not photoshopped. Starlings (the bird pictured) nest in holes. This one is apparenty "cleaning out the mess" so it can nest.
