[va-richmond-general] Re: Killing of Backyard Birds

Our daughter has an outdoor cat who catches squirrels and eats only the brains. 
(Yech!) But he has never done that with birds. Since the culprit has never been 
seen, I'm inclined to think it may be a nocturnal animal.

  A friend who lives on Monument Ave in the Fan sent me this question:


    A bird question – something is killing birds in our back yard.  Small brown 
birds – bigger than fledglings is my guess.  We find them missing their heads.  
Four today alone.  And not all in the same location.  It’s starting to add up 
in how many we’ve found!  We’ve never seen a cat, stray or neighborly in the 
yard, but I’m guessing one is the culprit.  Ours doesn’t go out.  How about 
squirrels?  We do feed them (birds and squirrels) so there’s lots of action 
back there.  Any idea’s?



  I don't have an answer - anyone else?
