Milk Consumption by birds

["Kurtis Lindsay" <>]

When my family and I were living near Blacktown in Sydney a dozen or so 
years ago, we often noticed our delivered milk bottles had holes pierced 
through the top. We thought this a little strange, as our milk was always 
delivered nice & early in the morning.
Upon investigation we observed a lone Pied Currawong who would come down 
(not  long after delivery), wait till the coast was clear and pierce the 
foil top of the bottle to drink to it's heart's delight.
We suspected that this individual bird would follow the truck around the 
neighbourhood and drink as much milk as its beak would allow then move onto 
the next delivery.
