Yesterday, a very interesting thing happened. A bird attacked another bird and started eating it on my lawn. When I came outside, the bird flew away, leaving it's prey behind. I inspected the bird and found that it had a tag on one of it's legs. I called my mom to come out, and she ended up putting it into a shoe box. We asked around, and found that the dead bird was probably a competition pigeon and its predator was a falcon. I wondered, "Why would one bird turn another of its own kind into carrion?" Well, one of the people that saw it said that its talon was caught in the pigeon when they pulled up. I thought maybe it just chewed out the area around its talon so that it could get away. But when I looked at the bird, there was a big gaping hole on one side that looked like the predator was trying to get to the heart or something else. I don't think it would've had to eat away that much to get its talon out. Then I thought that maybe it was hungry and couldn't find anything else to eat, so why not just it what was easy to find? I also thought that maybe it usually ate pigeons. My most radical thought was that the devil took the predator over and just decided to go on a killing spree. I don't know if I'll ever find out for sure, but I think I'll go with the circle of life theory and say that it normally eats pigeons.
