My beagle doesn't bother the birds at the feeders, but I just dragged her in from chasing a Brown Thrasher fledgling. She actually caught it and had it on its back and squawking. The bird is fine, but I was surprised that Jessie would do that. Then, as I was typing this up, Mom called. I told her, and she says Jessie was more curious than anything, that she wouldn't hurt a bird on purpose but might scare it. I agree. Jessie's a rabbit dog, not a bird dog. Still, I gave her a nasty telling-off. So, does anyone else's dog chase/hurt baby birds, or do they leave them alone?
