That would freak me out, got a bit of a phobia of our feathered friends. What happened to the pigeon Mozza? Did you put it out its misery? I doubt I would have been able to do it, though.
Same here, its quite interesting, I've kept a tally of all the different species that have flown into my small garden (18 different kinds) best one was the sparrowhawk that flew onto the grass with its prey and then proceeded to rip it to shreds.
