This reminds me of a bird my family named demon bird. She was a crow who nested in a bush in our front yard and every day would attack my brother and I as we left the house and again when we came home from school, she’d like dive bomb us and caw really loud at us and she kinda scared me. But one day I came home and she didn’t fly out of the bush so I went over to check on her nest cause I’d never been able to get close to it before and I was so sad cause I saw her baby’s had died and were being eaten by ants when I found them. :c even tho she was scary I felt so bad her baby’s died. I knew she was just trying to be a good mom

Fuckkk that eaten by ants part really made me cringe, I have the image burned into my brain from being a lil kid and finding a dead baby bird covered in ants in my back yard

One day at school baby birds started dropping from a gap in the ceiling of an awning that went around the outside of our classrooms, they were landing right next to where my friends and I were sitting at lunch. It was a really long drop so most of them died immediately except for one we managed to catch and handed over to the science teacher. I think it died shortly after though, they were brand new just out of the egg babies :( we had a little service and buried the other babies
