Curlew's Got Worms! This Bird Knows How to Dine in Style and Stay Clean!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious snapshot captured by FLPA/Roger Tidman, we witness the incredible multitasking skills of a Eurasian Curlew in Norfolk, England. With its long beak firmly gripping a juicy worm, this adult curlew is preparing for an epic feast while also planning ahead for a refreshing spa session! Known for their love of aquatic prey, these waders have perfected the art of catching worms from tidal creeks. But what sets this particular curlew apart is its unique pre-dining ritual - washing its food before devouring it! Talk about being fancy! As the photo shows, our feathered friend seems to understand that cleanliness is key even when indulging in some delicious wormy goodness. Prioritizing hygiene like no other bird out there, this curlew knows how to enjoy a meal without getting all muddy. With the picturesque backdrop of Norfolk's marshlands and wetlands adding charm to the scene, it's clear that nature has blessed us with not only beautiful creatures but also ones with impeccable table manners. So next time you're enjoying your favorite dish or snack, take inspiration from our avian companion here. Remember: good food deserves clean hands (or beaks)! And if you ever find yourself near Norfolk during winter months, keep an eye out for these delightful Eurasian Curlews showing off their dining etiquette amidst stunning coastal landscapes.
