We don’t have any pet birds but we love to feed the birds.
Was horrified that one day one was busy eating and a falcon swooped down and snatched it, left feathers EVERYWHERE.
Guilt...*sigh*
Been there...we had a pair of beautiful cardinals nesting in one of our trees. A hawk flew off with the female and we could hear her mate screaming his heart out for her. It was so sad, but it is nature for now. I think her “kids” are still hanging around here and we still see the older male - alone - sob!
