A pod of dolphins in Australia has been bringing gifts from the sea to the shore - apparently because they miss interacting with humans during the coronavirus pandemic. The humpback dolphins usually mingle with visitors at Barnacles Cafe and Dolphin Feeding at Tin Can Bay, Queensland. However, with the coronavirus pandemic keeping tourists away, the pod has taken to bringing an array of items - from corals to sea shells - for volunteers at the feeding centre.

"One male dolphin brings in objects on his rostrum, or beak, and then he carefully presents them to us," said volunteer Lyn McPherson to ABC News, talking about 29-year-old male dolphin Mystique. "What we have to do is give him a fish in return.

They like us. They like us.
 
Perhaps they think most of the humans have dies and these are their version of a sympathy gift basket.

Or they just learned that they can trade a piece of trash for a fish.
