Yes, but that's just part of life in nature.

Had a gang (5) of Blue Jays ravage a Robin’s nest a couple of years ago. Not a pretty sight — but nature.
Lived in the country so stray cats never had a chance to stalk our feeders more than once — human interference.


Blue Jays like mocking birds are bullies.

I once had to witness Grackles take out a nest of Robin kids. Every time the Robins came to the nest with a worm the grackles would intercept and take the worm, until the babies starved. Our beloved Robins are not aggressive fighters, especially against the multiple Grackle social family onslaught.


It's sad but all part of nature.

Sunday afternoon I saw this Robin and its mate carrying worms into my Japanese maple tree which told me they had a nest and babies so I took a look and saw the nest with four tiny babies in it. Also that same afternoon I saw a cat next to my front steps but it didn't hang around when it saw me. Now comes Monday. The robins were nowhere to be seen and I knew something was wrong so I took a look and the nest was empty. My first thought was the cat had come back and gotten them. I was wrong. Tuesday morning as I was beneath the tree pulling weeds all four babies were on the ground dead. My belief is that my local mockingbird is a serial killer.
Sunday afternoon I saw this Robin and its mate car... (show quote)
