Maybe Rousseau had it all wrong.  The first contract was between people and animals….especially clever, social animals. 🙃

I know quite a few humans who do what strikes me as much the same kind of thing: their dining tables and kitchen windowsills are decorated with trinkets and natural objects like polished stones, pine cones, crystals, snake skins, and dried flowers. On mine there are currently several bits of beach glass and a bowl of oak galls… guess it’s just my animal nature.

 Some people have observed this trinket -leaving near food source with Crows & wondered if it was a gesture of gratitude for the feeder food. 
Maybe just us anthropomorphizing?

Hey folks.
I hear some people tell of blue Jay's leaving pebbles and bits of twigs on feeder trays. Anyone else ever hear of such things? If so, what might be the reason?
Thanks!
