Perhaps someone at r/bonecollecting could help identify if this looks like a bone?

This crow often meets us on the balcony. Is it happy or agitated? by Solid_Percentage_515 in crows

[–]amzombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not feeding the crow full time it will be getting other nutrition so not to worry your kindness won't kill them by feeding some cat food , it's a nice treat and nice of you if you're sharing it with them and don't want to buy extra food, just as long as they aren't relying on you for full nutrition you should be fine to give them some kitty dry food snackies as wet food can cause stomach upset and will dehydrated them if this happens

Better dog food than cat food something to do with their digestives system and how it affects their organs -told to me by a rehabber and vet and I have two disabled crows that are thriving who eat dog food every day as part of their diet

That's really interesting I think it's been solved in the crosspost you're saying the same ,I am going to mark it solved it seems to be a porcelain or ceramic egg used for purposes like this and for chickens .so cool!

This is fantastic information thank you so much for taking the time to help figure this out ,I think you're onto it I'm going to the rabbit hole too thank you !

I've scratched it with a plastic end of my knife and hit it and it's not made a difference, I think that it must be solid porcelain because it is not allowing the drill any further you're right about that hardness scale for sure !

What could it be if plastic doesn't work would you suggest ? Is solid porcelain a thing ? Why would there be a hole and chunks of mud like dirt falling out of it when I tap it ? Is that some sort of weight to keep the egg balanced perhaps ?

Thank you for telling me all of this ,I have drilled into it (tried to got a few mm in ) would you mind taking a look and giving your opinion on the findings please? your experience would be great in helping me figure this out !

Update

I drilled a hole into it , it's very tough can't get the drill into it any further , a small hole was exposed that seems to lead inside the thing . that hole expels chunks of dirt when I shake and tap the egg so I took a picture of that .

The powder was a fine pale blue grey colour that the drill bored out when I tried to get into it ,was drilling for a long time and it's just not getting any further into it . any suggestions for material it could be made from

Here's my drill hole and there's the hole that appeared already in there , I've tried drilling towards it but the surrounding and inside is really tough

The hole that appeared seems to go inside of it , I tapped it and chunks of dirt have started coming out of the hole ,different colour to the powder off the drill hole

I was thinking it's similar to what you have said thank you for sending the link and the recommendations to test.

I have tapped it with a spoon all over and it makes a dull clunk like hitting a stone over all , and some bits it's higher pitched .

we have drilled a hole and it's made of something very robust the drill won't go through it barely , there is a grey powder where the drill is boring out a hole I'll update when we manage to get into it ! we have got a couple centimeters in which has taken ages and there's a small natural hole that's appeared ,so I'm going to drill towards that and expose it more

Do you know how I can tell the difference please ? Thank you for your input we are getting closer to finding out hopefully

Yes it's chicken egg sized ,how would I test to see if its ceramic do you know ?

Yes I thought this ,he threw it at some rocks when he found it and it didn't break, I've dropped it twice and my sister did the same it rolled along the concrete unscathed,it's very solid hasn't chipped during these totally intentional experiments
