I've seen an Australian Raven carrying and then caching a golf ball before, presumably because it thought it was an egg. White stones also fit this model, but not black stones. Interesting! Perhaps it's self defence: you can't "kill two birds with one stone" or "stone the crows" if you
can't find a stone...
