Found a dead silver eye on our lawn yesterday, my assumed cause of death would be flying into the window like a fool. I chucked it into the compost bin (the old one – not the flash new Swedish rotational one) but this morning it wasn’t there. The weird thing is, the same thing happened last week to a dead blackbird I threw in there (cause of death unknown, presumed misadventure).
Any idea what’s going on? Rats? Cats? Were the birds just napping? Is the zombie apocalypse upon us? Some sort of weird voodoo cult? Our house is in the midst of a neighbourhood of staid retirees, so I’m thinking the latter is the most likely. Everyone needs a hobby.
