Last week I found a small decapitated finch in my backyard. Today I found 3 more, one was not decapitated. I have a bird feeder in the yard on a tree branch and other than annoying squirrels tampering with it I only see birds eating there (finch, cardinals, oriols, robins, and brown doves).
I think it may be the squirrels, but the squirrels would do that when there's no other food source and they do have plenty of bird seed to eat. This is the first year this has happened. We've spoken to the neighbors and no one else has found dead or decapitated birds.
There are raccoons and cats that scamper through the night around here. Anyone have any ideas?
No...it's not the dogs doing this!
