My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

birds missing their heads...

21 years ago

A few weeks ago my mother and i put out a bird feeder and a bird bath to attract birds. Recently we have been finding corpses of little brown birds once in a while decapitated. Today we found a beak at the bottom of the bird bath and two headless little brown bodies. What is doing this? Our dogs a bird friendly cause we have a parrot and even so they would have eaten the bird. Could it be a cat? We have some big old black birds that come and eat at the feeder but we havent seen them attack any of the other birds in such a way as to decapitate them. i have seen em poke at a bird if it got into its eating area but thats it. Whats killing the poor birds? :(
