A British homeowner hopes to get to the bottom of a bizarre mystery wherein crows continuously leave cooked chicken drumsticks in his bird bath. The confounding case reportedly began two years ago when Andy Purvis noticed the food being deposited in the backyard of his home in St Ives. Over time, the drumstick drops have increased in frequency with the crows now leaving around five per day. Lamenting the problem "has progressively gotten worse," an exasperated Purvis explained that the birds use the water to soften the food they later return to eat. While he knows why the drumsticks keep appearing in his backyard, the question of where they are coming from has left the homeowner scratching his head.
