This comes from the mid October cookie experiment with Annie and Kenta...
Question: Do shorebirds like chips ahoy as much as Kenta does?
Methods: Creep at the birds and present subjects with a cookie...
Result: Shore birds do not like chips ahoy
Discussion: Perhaps they do not provide sufficient nutrition to better their fitness or they have not developed the taste yet for delicious chips ahoy cookies.
Conclusion: Don't waste cookies on shore birds. They will only give you the cold shoulder and a soggy sandy cookie.

Thank you for the very practical science! This will save cookies for many people.
...but then, before we close this, perhaps someone should reproduce your experiment with homemade cookies. It could be that shore birds are just a bit more particular.
yes perhaps homemade gingersnaps would better suit a persnickety shore bird.
