Morning Starters: Autumn 2 - Resourcefulness
Did You Know?
Have you ever tried to remove the shell of a nut? In Japan, clever crows have learned to crack open nuts by dropping them onto busy roads at pedestrian crossings. They wait for cars to smash them open, swooping in only when the traffic lights turn red. This smart trick keeps the crows safe while they enjoy an easy snack. It’s another wonderful example of how animals can be resourceful!
