In a particularly creative expression of anti-MAGA sentiment, a man who goes by the username “biz_dave” says he successfully trained crows to attack MAGA hats. As detailed in a series of posts on Threads, the self-proclaimed “big nerd” and “very part-time artist” stuck some tasty treats, including “peanuts, chicken scraps, mealworms, and dog kibble,” underneath a MAGA hat.

“Once they were coming regularly, it was only about three months to get them to the hat removal stage,” biz_dave wrote.

i read somewhere that birds cant control it

Some birds do use poop as a defense. So at least some can to some degree control it.

Eh, something like that could be a fear-induced reflex. Even some people may wet/soil themselves in fright.

Oddly enough, that would mean that given the impulses of "fight or flight," an animal that can literally fly will crap itself instead.

I know for fact there are birds that can weaponize poop. Seaguls are one of them. I've seen it with my own eyes.
