Rise In Bird Attacks

The Scottish SPCA has said that it has noticed a sharp rise in the number of attacks on birds by other birds.

They have had reported cases of:

• adult owls attacked by groups of crows
• tawny owl chicks attacked and killed by larger birds
• increasing cases of birds being attacked by domestic cats, crows or gulls.

I’ve no idea if this rise in attacks is unique to Scotland or whether England and Wales are seeing similar increases too.
