I am at work and my window is level with the top of a palm tree right outside my window. There is this large bird - either a crow or a raven (can't tell the difference) I think - and he is hovering/trying to land on the section of the tree below the fronds (where it looks like the base of many fronds that aren't growing). I finally noticed that he is picking into the tree and eating something in there. What is in there? Bugs? Worms? It can't be small birds because I would see it hanging out of his mouth.

It could be the young fronds, which are very tender, that he is eating. They actually make a palm salad at fancy restaurants from young leaves(its called hearts of palm salad.

I don't know where in the country you are located but the food the bird is eating could easily be dates. Dates grow on a palm tree in large green clusters just below the palms. Birds love to pick these out of the trees for a quick meal and it typically takes a larger bird to do so because of the distance from the top of the tree and the size of a raw date.

that's a mix of issues--in general it incredibly is too little exercising (as a results of too a lot convenience of "non-actual" activities and pursuits, loss of proper social places TO get exercising like parks and sidewalks, etc.) and having nutrition thank you to handy. Plus we are consistently uncovered to it---billboards, television/Radio, eating place classified ads, in line at examine-out counters, merchandising machines, on line. once you're consistently uncovered to it, you will be consistently thinking approximately it. And the extra you think of roughly some thing, the extra you will tend to work together in regardless of that's you're thinking approximately--nutrition, activities, television, etc.. i individually hate that element of u.s.. we are so severe; it incredibly is the two those "wellness-nuts" who're captivated with monitoring each and every thing or those people who do not understand or do not care and are captivated with ingesting each and every thing. Then there are human beings like me, who grew up around the two sorts of persons, and now I have not got any concept myself incredibly a thank you to handle issues like nutrition and consequently war a lot. i understand what's healthful and sturdy, and a great type of the time i can shop on with it, yet on occasion seeing classified ads for a advantageous chocolate cake or somebody else ingesting it, I start to think of, "i've got been incredibly healthful recently. and that i've got been putting a great type of time into college. Plus I only aced that super examination... in line with possibility I deserve it." after which that piece of chocolate cake will substitute into 2 products, and growth I (somebody who eats fruit & oatmeal for breakfast and salads for dinner, and runs 6 miles a number of cases a week plus power trains) only grow to be between the lazy individuals. that's a curler coaster. and that i might incredibly elect to get off.
