This Beautiful Bird Just Got Caught In A Trap Not Meant For It by ibinaboonline(op): 6:59pm On Jun 25
Something very awful and heartbreaking just happened o.

I played cat and mouse with one small rat at my house yesterday evening, so I set a trap for it. By morning, two tiny rats got caught in the glue board trap. Fantastic.

I didn't want to bother with the yucky experience if disposing them this morning, so I took the board outside thinking I'll deal with the disposal later.

I just remembered it this evening and, unfortunately, this beautiful bird had been caught alongside the rats. I suppose it was probably the rats that attracted the bird.

I feel sorry for this bird because the glue they use to make this board is so strong; I doubt I'll be able to extricate the bird without harming it. I don't even know the name of this bird. What I know is it is beautiful, and shouldn't have to suffer this experience.

Sad.

OP are you indirectly saying ugly birds deserve to suffer? undecided


Anyway, that's a Woodland Kingfisher.

That's the exact bird. Woodland kingfisher (I don learn new thing today).

All birds are beautiful.

That beak looks the "kingfisher" part. I just don't know where it goes fishing around here because we don't have rivers or streams or whatnots around here.

I already did. But I don't think it'll survive, not with its feathers glued together.

Ok, at least you did your part. Some NLers will call it meat and post photos how they prepared and ate it! grin

OP, a stone swung in swift motion should do justice to that bird. Then go into the nearest bush & pluck effirin leaves to garnish your bountiful harvest.

Not everyday does such exotic meal find its way to the common man.

clean the feathers with nail polish remover to free the gum.

A bit too late. I can't find it anymore. Probably fell to a predator over the night.

Life no balance at all. An ugly man can be tagged a thief just for being ugly.

Did a little research, its not a kingfisher in the true sense, it eats insects, lizards and small rodents, those rats probably attracted it. Lol
