How strong is a bird?

[searchlight]

Is a crow or magpie or both strong enough to fly while carrying an empty soup tin (lid removed) in its beak?
Thanks

Easily.

A swallow can carry a coconut.

[Nosha123]

did you see it happen?

Then I would say YES!

A swallow can carry a coconut? European or African?

[wildwood]

A crow can carry an item up to its own bodyweight while flying (about 1lb), a magpie less as it has a different flying tackle. So yes, I agree that an empty can is no problem.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought of swans and coconuts when I read this!

[yinyang]

or even swallows and coconuts
