Vet Q & AMy finch was eaten from its cage. What predators attack outdoor birds?
I am sorry for your loss. Cats, opossum, & raccoons are all very adept at hooking & pulling a small bird thru the cage bars. You must protect your birds with a strong enclosure. Perhaps you can build a box using strong lumbar & wire cloth. Otherwise, bring your cages in at night to protect your precious birds. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
