In summary, a red-bellied woodpecker that had visiting our suet feeder slammed into one of our windows at high speed and broke her neck. The bird died from the impact and the ants started to eat her.

Here's a happy ending for Evo. This female hairy woodpecker knocked herself out, but eventually, she came around and flew off.

But pooping on your own legs? Logical maybe, but totally disgusting.
I don't care how much inner beauty that bird has, you'll never catch me trying to revive a stunned vulture.
ps. I tried to feed my dead bird to my new feral cat, but my friends showed up before she could eat it and said; "Starting a maggot factory Om?"
Miss Feets Up was buried alongside Lucy yesterday, the most adventurous of all my fishies.
Moral of the story:
Live life to it's fullest, because you never know when an invisible barrier will take you out.
Be creative, compassionate, healthy, wealthy, and wise.
As one day, someone, other than yourself, will chose the icon on your gravestone.

While I am sorry for the loss of the woodpecker, I am glad you weren't talking about RedBelly98.
