A fox will take one bird from an unprotected pen, but will kill all the others because it is programmed to kill everything that flaps and makes a fuss in front of it. As for what constitutes 'sport' for a robin, I have no idea, and am not qualified to pronounce judgement on what seems to me like cruel behaviour.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-71738902260668277082016-06-11T12:32:26.328-07:002016-06-11T12:32:26.328-07:00Cute little buggers, aren't they.

The most interesting "trophy" hunting by an animal was watching a robin eat his fill of worms after a heavy summer storm, then for the pure sport of it carry worm after worm up to a telephone wire and drop it to the ground.
