I remember seeing a doco, Attenborough maybe, that did a speeded up bit on the death of a sparrow in response to the question about where are all the birds that die? Since then I have watched the same progress of discarded prey from one of our local teenaged cats and it is just amazing how fast the little body gets withdrawn from the world and recycled.
Made me understand why some cultures developed sky burials. Mother Nature sure does a good job. It's just a huge pity there are too many of us making her work on that front an impossible task. She would have no time left to take care of the sparrows.
