Today’s interesting fact has to do with English Blackbirds, Song Thrushes and Anvils.

A lot of people know that Song Thrushes will pick a large rock and use it as an anvil to break up snail shells and eat the extracted snail.

I was walking home last night and saw an English Blackbird do the same, using a brick drive way as the anvil.

Aparently Blackbirds in some parts of England have learnt the trick and in other areas, the birds will steal extracted snails from Song Thrushes and in other areas Blackbirds don't seem to eat snails.
