Ducks killed robins?

[LBVT]

Ugh. That’s what I’m afraid of. We like all our bird friends :/

I think maybe they look at them as invaders? I rarely see wild birds in the birds fencing on the ground but we sure have them since I put up feeders in our back yard.

Hmmmm my fence neighbor found a dying robin yesterday just on his side of the fence from the duck pen. There isn’t an avian disease going around is there?

I’m positive they would look at them that way—just surprised they could even get them.

Ooh yikes, hope not!

 

[Teneniel]

Me too. Especially since I examined it for him before it died. I mean I washed my hands thoroughly but still, couldn’t figure out what killed it. No injuries.

maybe the robin died of a disease then your ducks pecked at it and stuff

If the robins were comfortable around the ducks they could be caught off guard. Like getting a drink from the pool where the ducks were swimming.

When I was out in the country a neighbors rooster (used for fighting) got loose and was drowned by my drakes.

That guy wanted $1500 in compensation.
Um....no. The bird was in my pen more than an acre and a half from their property line. I told him to call the cops cause no way was I paying for their loose animal on my property. They never did.....

I would say it is also possible they fell in the pool and perhaps able to get out but too wet to fly away.

I wish my ducks would chase off the wild birds. Starlings and robins eat a good portion of their feed and they do nothing.
I have seen my ducks watch a robin pull a worm out of the ground and scare it off and take the worm though.

I would call the cops on that guy for cockfighting
