In some way, I at all times handle.

One other barely decadent dish: Hen Divan
Yesterday, at my E book Membership, we have been discussing canine and cats and birds. We’re all (however 1) pet homeowners and all stay within the nation.
Our host had a brand new pet and commented that she didn’t need her exterior alone now as she was too small. There are sparrow hawks and owls and different raptors round and her little Westie would make a pleasant morsel.
This morning, after Hector and I completed our stroll I seen a darkish patch within the yard. Pondering that our little boy canine had been digging once more I went over to cope with it.
It was feathers.
Raptors want to take a clear kill again to the nest for the children. Apparently they wish to maintain a tidy ‘home’ and don’t need all these messy feathers. The feathers are normally in a circle with a transparent spot within the center the place, I assume, the deed was carried out.
There was no signal of the physique and Hector didn’t appear so I left it, planning on cleansing it up after breakfast.
Once we got here again out later, he wandered off and I seen he was very fascinated with what regarded like a black leaf.
We don’t have black leaves.
For a change he dropped it once I instructed him to. It was the wings of no matter hen had been killed. They have been nonetheless hooked up to one another by one thing string-like. I assume a muscle or tendon, however I’m far too squeamish to look intently. One wing was not bloody so I handle to get rid of it within the woods. One of many neighbor cats can have a deal with.
Glad I waited till after breakfast.
