Stress the toad so it expresses venom, wash in water or wipe on grass, repeat a few times to exhaust the venom sacks, then swallow whole.

Unlike the method that crows and eagles are known to use - flip over and eat from the underside.

Grandma used to have a mixed breed dog that could catch wasp mid air, quickly spit it out, then very carefully kept biting it (maybe 50 times, very quickly and carefully) to disable the stinger, and then he would just eat the wasp.

A friend used to have a dog that ate bees. She would just snatch them out of the air, chew and swallow. Sometimes she'd rub her snout and fuss a bit, but then she'd go right back to eating them.

We've re-unhow'd the title above. Thanks!

how they learnt? evolution, natural selection. I guess like crows who are very clever as well, they observe, try, memorize, ..

This kind of knowledge doesn’t spread genetically, so I imagine there must be some mechanism by which the technique is taught within the species so that the knowledge of bin chickens gets handed down from generation to generation.

good point, maybe they learn with their parents
