Abstract
Mortality in birds engaged in mobbing potential predators is rare, especially while defending their progeny. This paper reports an incident of a nesting Crested Pigeon Ocyphaps lophotes being fatally attacked by an Australian Raven Corvus coronoides that it was mobbing. The Raven remained on the carcass for some time, but did not feed on it.
