I'm so sorry, Almita.

I know you cherished and loved your Tweety so much.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

RIP Tweety

I, too, take my birds outside when it's warm. I'm usually out there with them, but sometimes I run in the house for short periods of time. I won't be doing that anymore. I'm so sorry this happened to you, but this so easily could have happened to me too. Thanks for posting, you may have saved more birds.

I'm really sorry, it must be really hard to lose a pet in that way. Rest in Peace little Tweety

I am so sorry for your traumatic loss. It sounds like a Hawk, perhaps a Coopers Hawk. They attack and poke out the eyes of their victims. We have them here and I have to watch for my Chihuahuas also. If you have a hawk in the area it is not safe to put any pet birds outdoors since birds are prey to Hawks. So sorry about your bird.

Although hawks do not have red on them light refraction can display colors in a bird that are not present.

It may also have been a younger Hawk looking for an easy meal.
