    caught in the act.............

    This is amazing........and cute:

    Bird Story from Cyberspace
    sent our way by Glenn Barlow

    Change is in the Air!

    [Not original title--
    it came from cyberspace too!]

    Bill owns a company that manufactures and installs car wash systems. Magic Wand Car Wash Systems just in case you want to buy one. Bill's company installed a car wash system in Frederick, Md. for a gentleman.

    Now understand that these are a complete system including the money changer and money taking machines.

    The problem started when the new owner complained to Bill that he was loosing significant amounts of money form his coin machines each week. He went as far as to accuse Bill's employees of having a key to the boxes and ripping him off. Bill just couldn't believe that his people would do that. So they setup a trap for the thief.

    Well they caught the thief in the act! Scroll down to see the thief.

    The bird had to go down in the machine and back up to get to the money!

    That's three quarters he has in his mouth! (Below)

    Another amazing thing Bill told us is that it was not one bird there were several working together.

    Once they identified the thief, they found over $4000 in quarters on the roof of the car wash and more under a nearby tree.

    Cute story. I've heard that birds are attracted to shiny things but this is a bit extreme. LOL

    Can you tell what kind of bird it is?

    It looks like a starling to me, and that's not a small bird.

    That's is what I've found in the dictionary.

    magpie /{speaker}mgpaI/ noun
    a black and white bird with a long tail and a noisy cry. There is a popular belief that magpies like to steal small bright objects.

    Hmmmm

    After looking at all the pictures, the bird appears to be a sparrow size.
