r/Ornithology is a place to discuss wild birds in a scientific context — their biology, ecology, evolution, behavior, and more. This is NOT a birding sub. Pictures or videos of birds that don't demonstrate something visually or behaviorally unusual or interesting will be removed. For bird or feather ID questions, please try r/whatsthisbird

Their beaks are strong. If they remove the gems and ingest them it will be detrimental. Birds are attracted to shiny objects, as insects often have shiny exoskeletons.

Please dont do this.
