      hmmmm… good question

      i guess that maybe get atracted to sun glitter that forms in moving(mostly) water in lakes and rivers and such instead of still water?

      thats the only reason i see for a bird to have a stronger instinct for shiny things than water, because the shiny thing is the water that is safer to drink

        You actually nailed it. Glittering is attractive to all things with eyes because it represents water which is needed for life. Thats why car manufacturers use chrome in specific areas like the logo or a line they want you to notice to attract our lizard brain.
