Not really a gardening question but
I found a bird almost completely eaten except for the feathers in my garden the other day,
I have no idea what could have done this.
In the 11 years we have lived in our home I have only seen a cat once walking on the fence top so don't think it is a cat.
Also I found poo on the lawn some days before this find. It was quite small in size what could this be.

Some years ago I spotted hedgehogs in the garden but I haven't seen them since, no idea how they would get in. We have gates both sides and gravel boards below the fencing.
Could a hedgehog catch a bird?

Anyone have any ideas.

I am new to this so 'here goes'. I love reading the posts and this one has been an 'eye opener' as being in Australia I was not aware of some of the animals mentioned and what a lot there seem to be that prey on birds. Somethings always remain a mystery - we were 'baby sitting' our D's chickens and let them out one morning and all healthy. Returned some 30 mins later and found 2 dead - no marks etc anywhere. Still have no idea what happened but suspect a snake maybe a 'night python' as they live in the rain forest nearby. Baby sitting again next week, quite nervous about having another 'loss'.

A cat has destroyed the robins nest in mother’s garden. I found the uneaten chick yesterday. Killed but abandoned, killed for sport only angry
