I’m in complete shock, Another pair of sparrows overtook my box this morning and the new female then removed the egg that didn’t hatch, After that she tried to kill my two chicks, One chick as the skin ripped off it’s head as she bashed its head in over and over again and started chocking it in the nest, I couldn’t watch this happen so I got ladder and removed both chicks, I am taking them a wildlife centre they would of been died within the hour if I didn’t, the chicks looked shocked as they was getting ragged and hit and bite my heart broke for them, I won’t do a close up picture cause it’s sickening what she’s done to one of there heads, I have now bathed it’s little head but it’s in bad condition, I have never witnessed anything like this and hope I don’t again, two chicks are now safe was only days from fledging! I can take them the centre tomorrow so today I am going to try and feed them. I know some you would let nature happen and let them die but that’s not me to watch two innocent chicks get their heads bashed in no I couldn’t do it!
