Goshawk 3, den 2

[den]

Looks like the young goshawk also had a go at the rosella in rehab, unless that bird spontaneously developed a broken wing and back injury. I had to euthanase it. I don't think the injured blackbird chick will survive. The raptor also had a go at the last peewee in rehab but he was smart enough to hide under the end covered with a towel. I only have the peewee and one blackbird chick in good health now, buggrit.

And I think the neighbours lost some budgies from their aviary. There are a lot of green&yellow feathers in my garden.

Bad goshawk, no biscuit :P I'm sorry you've had to euthanize so many and I'm hoping you can keep the rest in good health until they can leave. Nature seems unreasonably cruel sometimes.

The peewees will inherit the earth.

Despite it being a right bastid for going after trapped prey, it's a *smart* goshawk bastige. And it's doing what they do, but the easy way:P. Too bad about the nieghbors budgies. when I was home last visit a great big sparrowhawk sat on the low branch of my folks crabapple tree in the back yard. Object: doves and other fry who might approch the now permanently empty feeder.

I haven't seen much hawk activity because it is winter here, but I do see them on the favorite aerial tower half the time I do look. High spots attract predator bastiges.

I lost some pet rats one time and could not figure out how they got out then I found a Least Weasle stuck in a rat cage with too full a stomich to excape... problem discovered! But the sneaky mustlid managed to evade my capture and so I had to move all the rodents to a new location (I thought that place was mouse proof but this smallest of carnivours can squeeze through cracks even mice do not bother trying)
