Walking around the garden today I found two dead Robins side by side ,one had a clean hole under the beak,im wondering whether they killed each other, has anyone else any ideals.

All the best Steve

Did you take a photo? its a possibility, although anything could have happened.

No photo sorry, just there shutting chickens in, storm came in and the gardens a distance from the house. There was no sighs of plucking like bird of prey, or loads of feathers like cat, I have lived in the countryside all my life and never seen anything like it.

when you say clean hole, is it possible its been shot, as two side by side, seems as though they have been placed there, bit strange all the same. rossy.

Hi rosy, thanks for your reply ,no they cannot have been placed there, air gunners did cross my mind, but we never see any around here, and I think there would have been more obvious holes.

All the best Steve
