TL;DR
On Hurghada beaches, don’t leave food unattended on tables or sunbeds: crows quickly grab it, pull scraps from bins, and may dirty nearby belongings. Throw away leftovers right away and keep snacks covered or with you.
What the community said
Recent reports say there are many crows on the beach right now: they pull food waste out of bins, carry it onto sunbeds with towels, and eat there. That means loungers and nearby belongings can get dirty.

Even if the issue isn’t the food itself, your belongings nearby can be affected: travelers mention large, bold crows landing on clothes and towels near loungers. If you eat on the beach, pack food away quickly and keep clothing separate.
