Is it possible for a cat, Harry in question, to steal an egg from its nest? :shocked:
I have just noticed Ted out the back licking something white and when I went to have a look it was an egg, urgh!
I have picked it up and as it was cracked I opened it. There seemed to be a chick in it but not properly formed and yellow liquid.
The shell of the egg was white and a little larger than a Quail egg.
Harry has also been acting very strange, sitting looking through the fence at me then dissapearing :shify:
-
Looks like it was a pigeon egg
-
Yes Milly has done this twice in the last week.
-
Yes mine have done this too
-
Oh God so not only is he killing birds, he's stealing them from the nest before they are even born :(
So will they be climbing the tree for them? :Crazy:
Explains where all those baby birds came from last year, there was just no way he was catching them all.
-
Lupus quite often brings in whole nests :(. as he's brain damaged he never manages to catch birds, just frogs and nests. i've caught him a few times devouring the contents of the nests in my kitchen. luckily, to date they've only been undeveloped eggs.
-
Magpies often drop eggs, it could have been a lucky find
-
Oh I hope so cos I would hate to think he is climbing trees for birds, what chance do they stand then :scared: Although he did look very suspect :(
-
Aw, poor birdies. I've not heard of anything like this before. But then again we get to hear about everything on here don't we? I learn more on here than reading the papers or watching TV.

Well Mary with the amount of birds he had last year I dont think he was catching them in mid flight, some of them couldn't even fly :(

No Julie but...I do admit to being a little of that :evillaugh:
I dont think Harry has climed a tree at all, there was another egg in my rabbit pen, smashed on the wall so I think its been a bird thats droped it. There is blood and yolk all over :sick:

I've just sat for several seconds thinking' rabbits don't lay eggs - do they?' In my defence I hadn't seen this thread before and my PC displays threads with the last post first so didn't see any of the posts before about birds :evillaugh:

You can but I like it that way, it was just CC's cryptic egg laying rabbit that threw me with this thread :evillaugh:
