I’ve seen cats spring and pull the tail off a small bird, so am thinking a fox, coyote, or bobcat, likely tried to have the pheasant for lunch. Ty Smedes From: <ia-bird...> <ia-bird...> On Behalf Of Tim Gedler Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2025 11:15 AM To: Angela Battle <argusbee23...> Cc: <ia-bird...> Subject: Re: [ia-bird] Pheasant Question I've always wondered whether cats/bobcats or other predators make tail-less birds. If so, we can believe they have escaped an attack. Tim G.

Yesterday he appeared and is missing his entire tail? Any theories as to what could have happened and whether or not he will survive this? I would appreciate any thoughts. A.
