hi for the past week we have found almost daily a headless bird in the garden all in different spots. they have been both adult starlings and blackbirds. there are not feathers scattered everywhere like when a cat has had a bird. they are perfect in every way but their heads have been cut clean off sometimes the head is found a few feet away from the body other times its nowhere to be seen. can anyone tell me whats getting them its always in the evening between 7 and 9 we have magpies in the garden but i thought they had eggs and young birds and they are not being eaten. i really would like the mystery solved as its really unlpeasent to keep finding them. thanks
it may be seagulls? do you have them around? as I have seen seagulls decapitate a pigeon b4 by swooping 4it. I also seen 1 try n pick up a cat ha ha. was surreal.
either that or u got witch doctors next door .
Our cat used to catch and bring us headless birds. Because he played with them for a while after he'd caught them there were often no feathers lying around, just the sorry little body lying on the lawn.
hi cheers for your answers i havnt seen any seagulls about and whatever it getting them its doing it in the garden because the bodies are perfectly in tact not a feather out of place then there is a blood pool and on occations where part of the head is left near the body its only the cap the eyes beak and brain area is missing its like a syler (from heroes) of the bird world
