At the dawn of the 20th century milk was delivered to British doorstops in open bottles. Two birds learnt how to siphon the cream at the top – the Blue Tit and the Robin. After World War I, dairies began sealing their bottles with aluminium foil. But by 1950 the entire British Blue Tit population had learnt how to pierce the bottle tops and get the cream, whereas the Robins never did!
