A rare bird indeed! No self respecting song bird I’ve seen would take ice cream even it was offered. Seeds, nuts, bugs/grubs/worms are what it’s all about for them.
Never seen that with a rocket pop, but I have seen a parent encourage their child to hold a french fry in the air so seagull could snatch it from their hand … and then immediately have to run inside the restaurant as the rest of the flock realized there were french fries around and bombard them.
My Ice Cream story of triumph is, my very good friends owned THE ice cream truck (in a small town) AND they were my friends BEFORE getting the ice cream truck.

A bird with brain freeze.

I wonder if the bird is taking it back to the nest for the little ones?

First Pasquale and now Jimbo…it looks like the Gumbo men aren’t having luck with ice cream this week!

The next mornings under-perch decorations may be more colorful than usual.

A Rocket Pop Hawk.
Wait until the local Birdwatchers hear about this sighting.

I hope he is not expected to pay for the merchant’s merchandise taken by birds.

That rocket pop is probably heavier than the bird.
