1. Whoa.

I didn't know that about them either! Thanks for posting this. :)

4. I wonder if they've changed the design of their machine.

It's pretty darn clever of the birds to figure out how to find the money!

6. I bet they've had to!

That's a lot of quarters.

Starlings are so funny to watch - they places they fit into are amazing!

2. That's capitalism for ya

corrupts even the most innocent in society. :)

3. Interesting that pretty shiny things are attractive

to females of other species as well...

5. They love to steal crystals too.

7. Yeah, I hate getting them damn Canadian coins in my change

Seems like that's how it goes when you live in a border state.

9. How come we never see any Mexican money mixed in with our change?

Seems odd...

10. A male Bower Bird would put those quarters to good use-

he collects primarily blue and/or shiny stuff to attract females to his bower. One of these photos shows a bower bird who found a blue toothbrush (what female bird could resist a blue toothbrush?!):
