I had a cat, a great hunter who regularly killed pigeons amongst other birds and animals. It often decapitated them. Then one day i caught her in the act. It was the action of the the birds powerful wings that removed its body from the head whilst the cat held on. Pretty gruesome stuff. The only time I was sad for a bird was when she caught a yellowhammer, which I think are fairly rare.
Apologies if I have put you off your Sunday lunch.
