Tests showed that it's body was full of heavy gunshot gauge.
Not true. If you read the report of the autopsy carried out on the dead bird, details of which are given in a link to an earlier posting* on this thread, you will find that the bird had just TWO lead pellets in its pectorals. These had probably been there for several years and were NOT the cause of death.
I've told you a million times - DON'T exaggerate! :news:
Edit - The first link on Post #711 refers.
