Sorry, mate, that's bloody heartbreaking.
At least the bugger is dead...

That's every birdkeeper's worst nightmare.

Sorry for your loss Wildbill. Hopefully no more will get in.

Wow beautiful birds -poor little things :thumbdown:

Do rats get them while they are roosting?
Are they actually try into catch birds to eat? or just being little destructive b.....ds for no reason.

Sorry to hear Wildbill.

If anything at all we can thank you for sharing this as many now have stocked up the bait stations to which I had neglected to check over summer to prevent these tragedies reoccurring.
Thanks, Mac
