Behaviour
Exploring the store, frequently trying to steal food and items from the tables. Flew briefly across the street and called, then came back and tried to steel a coffee, spilled it, and sat in the tree and vocalized for a few minutes. Then went back to exploring tables. At one point people were trying to use their tray as a shield and he engaged and grabbed the tray. I went over and shooed him off for them as the people were growing alarmed. But then he found a dropped pastry in the parking lot so I went over and picked that up. He found some other small crumbs under a table and I left him be. He then went all around the cafe seating looking for any tiny crumb and he started to inspect an umbrella lying on a bench. He also picked up some liter briefly at times. He spent a large amount of time exploring the ground and tables and went back to ‘inspecting’ cafe visitors.
