Just found out that this little bitch bird is killing all the other small birds that lived for years on the trees next to our house.

I noticed lately that the usual birds sounds are gone for the past three weeks, it appears this fucker is killing them

      Are you sure, it doesn’t look like the one in the links.

      It has a weird strong looking beak, and it’s not a small size bird.

      Also how to make it stop killing other small singing birds.

          Man those singing birds have been living on those trees for more than 20 years, this fucker came and start killing them and now (aside from no more bird singing) i have noticed also some strange bugs on my windows small flies and mosquitoes (dont know if its related)

          This bitch bird is an occupier - i think.

        I think they’re right, if you scroll down to the photo of the G. g. atricapillus subspecies it looks very similar, and it’s local to your area.

        Corvids like jays will just eat nestlings (along with many other small things like bugs and mice), they have to eat and feed their own young as well. There’s not really anything that can or should be done to stop them; the songbirds will be back, they’ll come back for whatever attracted them in the first place.

          He occupied their home (they lived there for 20 years) but also killed them 😢

          Everyday i see his shadows on the those trees, he claims that area now. I hate it

          Its not his home, i want to kick it out.
