It is unfortunate that a bird died hitting one of our windows of our home the other day, and fell beneath a tree.
Every time I walked outside, there were 3 or 4 robins surrounding this particular bird under the tree that had died. We are in Ontario, Canada.
They were literally protecting it from squirrels, cats and other birds that were trying to check it out.

Quickly, I ran to get my camera and when I returned to the window, he was gone.
I looked all over online for [ ... ]
