Does this mean we are doomed…?

Came home to find a dead bird on my doorstep… Literally can’t fathom how it would end up there. Live in the countryside but how did it get there???
Of course the ring doorbell isn’t charged, so can’t check if it was put there. I’m SO freaked out right now after googling ‘dead bird on doorstep’. It wasn’t a little bird either - some sort of crow looking thing. I was screaming and my partner removed it, so I didn’t get a good look. Anyone else out there ever experienced anything similar?

This. Or possibly been struck at by a bird of prey, who dropped it with no obvious damage, though this is far less likely than just having flown into the door/window.

Did you move to the countryside yesterday, OP? How do you cope with foxes having sex, bats getting into the house, badgers setting off your security lights?

Could it be a present from your cat (if you have one)?

Could it have flown into a window and fatally injured itself?

A cat probably got it, or it crashed into the door, or maybe it was sick and died of natural causes. Or any one of a million things, none of which mean you are doomed.

Bit of an overreaction. Probably been put there by a cat.

Oh come on. A cat may have left it there - it’s hardly a horses head in your bed!!

It’s a dead bird. Not a dead human.

Christ alive how do people get through life.
