The morning has been pretty busy since the school reopened. I have to leave both the kids at different times, so literally we don't have time to even talk in the morning. When I came out of the bathroom, I saw my son in very much despair standing near the window where these squabs were growing. Before he came into action a crow came in and pulled one of the squabs, taking the advantage of their mother not being there. My son shouted, but by then it already had done the damage. Probably it would have killed both, but because he shouted, it killed one of them, before fleeing away.
It was heart breaking to see the other one alone and looking out for some help, but we could barely do anything to find out their mother, apart from giving some food there.
If you have not seen my previous post, then have a look at this post, the kids were enjoying the squabs and the love and interactions between the mother and the squabs. My son was heart broken, seeing a death so close in front of him. My daughter was in school and when she came back, she was very upset as well. But this is reality - there is an evil everywhere. The mother came back after some time, and until then, the lady made sure to watch there, to have at least one alive. Hopefully this one survives and flies with a new life.
