  • hahhhahahahaa its crap looks like a piece of cottage cheese!!!!!yum:)

  • @kingrune111

    Mama bird thought it was cottage cheese and she knocked it back:))))))

  • That is so cool!

  • @kingrune111 I think it is to hide the fact that there are babies in the nest. Predators would see a pile of droppings under the nest and know to look there. Other animals have different means of doing the same thing, including projectile defecation!

  • Why did it fly away with its poop?
