If a $20 bill floated down to your 5th floor apartment balcony after blowing in the wind, it would apply to that as well. "Finders keepers" is a children's saying, but it's not the law. And if you're found to be feeding a bird that keeps bringing you cash, I don't really think it would be too hard for a jury to find that it was a scheme you intended and rise to the level of outright theft. More likely than someone drying his money on the roof would be the birds getting the money from tips left on tables on a restaurant's patio. | |

I was more talking about sitting on your balcony as the you feed the crow bread and it brings you a $5 bill four times for four pieces of bread. I bet they could make that fly if they discovered your scheme and wanted to prosecute under that statute. | |
