Interesting observation...

Hehe, stupid birds. (kidding, but seriously why build on the ground? )

Very interesting...particularly if it was a fully grown bird! I could maybe see a flegling easily being caught but crazy things happen in nature so I would belive just about anything..

Little creepy, but indeed, they eat birds.

Wow... prob not the best captive diet but that was pretty darn cool

Two of my big garters ate nestling starlings today. It's funny, they wouldn't touch them yesterday when they were fresh, but after they were frozen, thawed, and all bloody, then they took them readily.

Plenty of birds do. I can think of 3 other songbirds right off the top of my head, that also nest on the ground in WA.

i could too.. just saying whats the point? I was kidding

You feed your snakes birds? That safe?

[ConcinusMan]

I did today. They were mere hours out of the egg when I got them yesterday. Near as I can tell, the snakes are still alive, so I guess it's safe. Last time I checked, hatching songbirds weren't poisonous.

[RedSidedSPR]

Oh really? I thought they were,

Well, you don't here anything about birds as a good food source in the care sheets. Just surprised to hear you do that. Figured they might carry something. but if not... COOL!

I would have a difficult time feeding baby birds to my snakes.
I'm a bird person also.
