Mini Mooch?

I was eating at a established restaurant of American Quality -alright so I was eating a sloppy burger from Carl's Jr., home of greasy, barbeque sauce laden, gut bombs!- while parked in the lot and listening to the radio when I heard a ear-splitting screech. My instant reaction was to turn down the volume on the radio, but then I heard the screech again with the volume turned down. After realizing that the sound came from outside my car and not from the radio, I spied a red-wing blackbird begging for a crumb of food.



I didn't give in to his mooch tendencies, but I have to give it credit. This little bird sure knew a free meal. After trying unsuccessfully to get a handout, this little mooch took a quick flight to the next occupied vehicle and begged again. It also seems that this bird wasn't a real "birdbrain" either. He only begged from occupied vehicles!

Smart little bird... but still a Mini Mooch.
