I know that weasels decapitate chickens, and drink their blood.  The rest of 
the chicken is untouched. I have not seen this with small birds.

  Subject: [TN-Bird] Decapitated Nestlings

  What would eat the heads of Phoebe nestlings?  I know some House Sparrows 
peck the backs of heads to kill nestlings, but these little babies were thrown 
from the nest without heads anywhere around.  I thought the nest would be 
completely safe up under the roof of our porch.  The nest is about 12 feet high.
