Hi, my name is Judy and I’m new to forums. My husband got me interested in taking our bird feeding to the next level and now we have 3 different feeders and 3 suet cages, 2 water dishes one with a cheap water fountain, plus we give them a ton of bread and seeds on the ground. Oh, also I’ve been feeding blueberries to mocking birds and cardinals right out my window! I’ve been trying to get “Mocky” to sit on my hand. We spend a LOT on bird food, you would think they would be happy...right? I spend the day being hall monitor! I know it’s normal for birds to fight and steal from each other but in one month I’ve witnessed 2 (at least) murders! One was an injured pigeon that was killed by another pigeon, it was brutal how he did it too! Then another attack but I can’t say what the birds were, it took off with its prey.
I’m here today because a grackle grabbed a little sparrow! I heard it screeching as he stabbed it, I tried to stop it but he took of with it! I’m sick over this violence! I use to enjoy watching the grackles soak their bread in the water before eating it but now I just want to kick out all big birds! I have about 15 species coming here. What should I do?
