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

    What you wrote makes sense, i am not hostile to any bird. it feels like this bird invaded my house but in reality -as you mentioned- that is not the case, first because animals don’t abide to human norms and secondly he liked the trees.

    Anyway RIP little prince

      Image search says little prince was some type of sunbird perhaps? They do look very beautiful and wiki says there are around 150 species of them.

      I will have to read more about them. They all look very beautiful. I’m curious to hear their song later when I get a chance. It says people consider it not pleasant, but since I like raptor noises, I may enjoy it 😄

      RIP to your little one, and I hope its relatives soon return to your lemon tree. It did say they were also pollinators, after all. They sound like pretty territorial birds themselves, so they may still reclaim the yard. ❤️

          Sounds like a regular bird cheep cheep sound to me, nothing I’d think anyone wouldn’t like. The description had me thinking it’d be something shrieking like a catbird, but those just make me laugh. It was in context of why they aren’t kept as house birds, so it may be too basic for that, but in my opinion I’d rather they stay free outdoors.

          I hope they will return for you soon and maybe even find balance with the jays. ❤️
