A number of us have reported our sightings of Spangled Drongos
taking small birds.

I've seen a Magpie kill a honeyeater nestling and then drop it and then fly off 
without any further action.

Then there are the Pied Currawong predations of nestlings.

When I was a child many many years ago a Kookaburra stole a budgie out of its 
cage by forcing its beak into the cage; snatching it and bashing it within 20 
feet of me. I've never thought much of Kookaburras ever since.
