Odd feeding behaviour: Noisy Miner, Maroubra Sydney

["" <>]

Hi Charles,

I've not seen it in wild birds before, but I've had chickens that love eating 
polystyrene broccoli boxes.

Cheers,

Eric

Hi all,

I just saw a Noisy Miner picking at a small piece of polystyrene and eating it 
(in park at Maroubra Beach, Sydney).

It broke of a small piece and ate it. Did this four times.

Seems very strange to me.

Anyone else witnessed such bizarre behaviour in birds before?

Cheers,
Charles Hunter
