Hi Everyone,
An acquaintance of ours had two pet budgies in a normal wire cage in their
garden, in south-eastern Melbourne, and saw the two birds happily in the cage
one afternoon, before returning inside for the night. In the morning, they
found one Budgie still alive in the cage, with the other budgies remains on the
floor of the cage; it had been killed and mostly eaten. We assumed that it
wasn’t the other Budgie who did this, and seeing as the cage probably could not
have been accessed by a cat or fox, we thought that a butcherbird may have been
the culprit. They are found in their garden, but it must have stuck its beak
through the gaps in the cage in order to get it, yet this must have been a bit
of an effort. Has this behaviour been observed before?
Regards,
Matthew Roach.
