Current thinking is it may BE a dinosaur, descended from some of the tiny species that survived the mass extinction alongside proto-mammals. And there have been hatchling theropods (the group including all the bipedal carnivores) found fossilized with obvious down feathers in a halo around them.
To prepare: 1. Make SURE it's dead (it's a heron of some kind and they go for the eyes) 2. Carefully sear off pinfeathers with a blowtorch for that extra-special "kill it with fire" zing. 3. Cook carefully--there's a fine line between underdone and shoe leather with the little ones. 4. Spice to taste, keeping in mind that it's probably going to taste like fish due to its diet. |

I noticed that certainly with members of the corvid family, they are attracted to food by sight, especially movement.
A crow will always go for food it sees thrown, rather than food already on the ground, even if it means having to squabble with another bird for it. Although I seem to remember that the whole "vision is based on movement" came from Jurassic Park and was debunked. Still, it made me smile to think I was feeding mini-dinosaurs.
