Torresian Crows in SEQld are experts at the soaking food in bird baths, swmming pools etc to soften up the food. anyone who lives close to a school finds bread scraps in their bird bath often. We have neighbours with dogs and weekly find a bone or two in the BB. they never seem to soften.

A friend of mine, Alec Moody, reported that he saw a raven pick up a
piece of dry bread, then fly over and dip it in water before
eating it.
Is it common for ravens to show this sort of taste?

I haven't seen that, but it wouldn't surprise me.  I once saw a Little
Raven carry a plastic container with some left over Chinese food (I
think) up onto a street light to eat it.
