Found the remains of a pidgeon near my pond this morning - hardly any
of the carcass left just a load of feathers. We have a small garden
surrounded by others but it is enclosed by 6ft fences ( to deter cats
)
I am sure a cat wouldn't / couldn't have done this so possibly a fox ?
Don't know how it got in garden tho and it's pretty well built up
around where I live ....... V Strange !

A cat will enjoy eating the breast of pigeon, and will leave the bird
spreadeagled on the lawn with feathers everywhere.

We had a cat who did this and the first sign that something had occurred was
when he came in and laid down to sleep in front of the fire looking a bit
bloated. When he didn't stir for a very long time we thought something was
up. We went out and found the victim surrounded by feathers on our lawn.
