I am an animal lover it is no secret, I love all animals especially dogs and cats, but I have a extra soft spot for birds. I love birds, especially parrots. I have two parrots Stan who is a South American Quaker parrot and Molly a beautiful Rainbow Lorikeet.
Last week my friend and Colleague popped in for a coffee and was admiring my birds, she told me about her mums bird which is also a Lorikeet called Georgie and how friendly she was.
Today while we were at work my colleague/friend received a text from her mum to say that Georgie had just been eaten by a snake. We were both shocked and saddened, when my friend text back to ask her mum how she knew that Georgie had been eaten by a snake her mum sent back this photo. If you look closely you can see poor Georgie yet to be digested inside the snake.
I wanted to share this photo because I thought it would serve as a timely reminder with summer fast approaching. I am so glad my birds live inside. Poor little Georgie. R.I.P.
5 minutes more please 
so sad
I know, how scary 😦
Oh, no….
It was very sad Marina, but not uncommon especially in Queensland 😦
😦
I am so sorry.
Oh, no! 😦 I’m a bird lover, too. This is very sad. I’m sorry for your friend’s loss. My children’s first pet was a lovely budgie named Ollie. He was the most cheerful little guy and brought us so much joy with his antics. We had him for 10 years and it was such a sad day when he passed. Your friend must be heart broken.
Yes they were very sad. Although not uncommon for snakes to prey on pets, it was a real shock. Ollie sounds like a lovely bird. My Stan is a real character too, birds are such a joy.
I’m so glad we have no snakes here (at least not such giant). I feel sorry for the bird, are such snakes common in your area or was it one what escaped from his owner?
I’m glad you don’t have to worry about snakes easy. Yes they are quite common in Australia especially in the warmer weather.
Where in Gods earth do you live where there is a snake like that? That’s right out of a National Geographic Magazine.
We live in Melbourne , this happened in Brisbane, but we have snakes in Melbourne too infact all over Australia and when the weather warms up they are a real threat. 😦
Was that a poisonous one..?
No I don’t think so. I am no snake expert of course, but poisonous or not I would definitely keep my distance.
I thought Brisbane was a massive city. Wow remind me not to leave small children around unattended.
Ah sorry for the loss 😦
I have to be honest snakes scare me and I loathe them. Sends shivers down my spine those creatures ! *Cringes in fear*
They are scary I agree.
Yeah, no. I just can’t even! I can’t believe I even went back for the second look!! Eek!
Horrible I know 😦
We do not have snakes in Hawaii. Well, except the two-legged versions called politicians. The bird population here thinks this is a very good thing.
Lol yes we have those types of snakes here too. Glad your bird population is safe.
😥
😦
OMG!
I know! Unfortunately not uncommon here in Oz 😦
It’s horrible 😦
ohh,,, I am sorry for your friend’s loss. I have two budgies, Abbi and Holly, and can identify with having a special birdie friend 😦 my sympathies.
Thank you 🙂
very sad and sorry for your friend’s loss.
