Crows

One of the most annoying birds around. They caw all the time and raid household bins when they can.

They are quite clever and two of them will work together to tip the bin lids off and then help themselves to the contents.

I have not seen them do it to our bins as they dont have latches on them but if something is left hanging out of a bin or it is overflowing, then its game on and everything is fair game for the birds.

I saw a curious bin in a park the other day and had to take a closer look.

It has the words Crow beater on top and it was quite heavy to lift.
