Hi Tweeters!

My mother came up with a strange question. The other day my step-brother
and his wife observed a hawk of some kind catch a SCRUB JAY and begin eating
it. Another scrub jay began fussing and squawking and dive bombing the
hawk. Eventually the hawk gave up the bird it was eating.

Then the other scrub jay began EATING the jay the hawk had killed!

Just how common is cannibalism among corvids?
