I have seen that too, but different species do different things.
I saved an English dove (which is vermin here) from a butcher bird (they are brutal birds).
It crawled under the fence I gave it a chance.
It was little it got hit, butcher birds were coming back for it, dunno if it lived but the butcher bird male came at me.
Im like come at me bro swung at it didn't want to mess with hominid. Literally swooped at me.
I almost smacked it in the head.
Native magpies here mourn over their own ive seen that. They all standing around on the road (you retards) pining over their family.
But in a week they got another bird. Then the ravens come eat it. I scooped it off the road and buried it.
Something (maybe a fox) dug it up and ate it.(found a skeleton)
I think you mean a native black bird. But they will find another one and not carry on about it.
Animals although they have the convenience of love, its just that convenience.
Breeding pair.
