You're right about them being dirty. I've probably seen a clean one but I can't remember it, the overwhelming impression I have of them is that they are the dirtiest scruffiest birds that I know. I wonder how clean they are when living in a natural nonhuman environment. One thing is certain, they're bold, smart, calculating and cunning (you've no doubt noticed how they'll steal food the split second you cease paying immediate attention to it). Can't say I like them much but I admire their survival tactics.
