That's an interesting ritual, good for the birds, and no funeral cost!

i guess it is just a way to cleanly dispose of a corpse, i mean when you are buried the worms eat u lol so what is the difference if birds or wild animals do it. I had a pet rabbit that died so i fed it to 1 of my snakes :) saved me buying him his next feed
