"Frito Bandito"
I was eating fritos at my post back when I was a guard at the Intel plant. I dropped one and this little fella (a scrub jay) came and scooped it up almost as soon as it was on the ground!
I wasn't too worried since Fritos are basically just corn, oil, and salt so nothing a bird can't digest in small amounts.
(Also if anyone could send my husband and I some Fritos I'd be glad, they're almost impossible to find here).
