Hewitt-Cooper and his friends specializing in tree species research say large prey plants can capture mice, frogs, snakes, lizards . but finding out that birds caught by them are unusual. in nature.
This is probably the second time the bird has been eaten by carnivorous plants. Another case happened in Germany a few years ago in the case of research, not in the wild.
The reason may be that the bird finds insects and crawls deep into the warm lid, making it impossible to escape.
Hewitt-Cooper has planted prey plants to trap flies and sundews for 30 years, and has won many gold medals at the Flower Contest at Chelsea.
