My dogs killed one of my baby birds. I am devastated.

Oh Robin, I'm so sorry to hear the girls got one of your babies. I know how much they mean to you. Please don't blame yourself, it's not your fault at all. I see this happened earlier this evening, I hope your feeling a little bit better now

Awww, I'm so sorry. Maggy once killed a little bird too. It's so hard to not be bad at them because as you said, it's their nature.

Hugs to you.

{Hugs} to you Robin!
I know just how you feel!
Last Spring the most daring (or most stupid) bunny made a nest in my backyard and I didn't find it until she had the babies. I tried everything in my power to keep the dogs away from it. Buddy was pretty good about it, but Sierra was obsessed with it!! I'd take my eye off of her for a split second and BAM... she had her head in the nest. By the time they were old enough to leave the nest there were only 2 left, she had killed almost all of them. When I thought they were long gone Sierra came in the house with half of one in her mouth. She got worms from it, then she gave them to Buddy and it was just horrible!!!!
Every time I see a bunny near my yard I chase them away! I don't want to go through that again! I have had a bunny in my yard every morning this week trying to build a nest in the same spot as last year, but I keep filling it back up so she goes somewhere else!!
I feel for you!! I hope the other bird comes back!!

So sad, so sad. poor little baby bird .
my two hunt all the time, and it makes me sad, too. I had to knock down a barn swallow's nest last year because they built it right over the door next to the kennel, and I didn't want them trying to raise babies so close to the dogs. They would never had made it to adulthood. Fortunately there were no eggs yet.
I hope your other birdie comes back soon.
