RipleyCrow question (awkward)
Kinda unpleasant topic, probably a simple answer I hope.
The wife went down the driveway to get the mail and she runs across a headless crow, no apparent blood. She grew up on a farm and except for chickens had never seen a headless bird, I've never seen one. Crows are known to be smart survivors, hard to believe it wasn't watching it's six. We've got owls, other raptors, probably it? Hopefully not some satanic sign from the odd lady living down the hill.

Thanks, I would never have thought to search for old headless bird threads.
Feeling a little less suspicious about the odd lady down the hill.

JellyBirds of prey like Hawks, Eagles, and Owls can and do decapitate other birds.

Texas Bob C.Your crow is broken. Right now there are four crows not twenty feet away on my patio. They all have heads.

sourdough44Lots of carnage going on right now. We have the hawk family up front, Coopers or Sharp Shinned best I can tell. The crows are raiding any nest they can.
I saw the mom or dad red Fox a few times recently. The turkey hens are trying to hatch their eggs.
I read an article once talking about how we’d be overrun with robins if all the eggs hatched to adulthood. I’m a bit protective of any bluebirds I have. It would be nice if most predators went after the cowbirds, starlings, possums & skunks, crows too.
