No one ever believes me when I tell them my frogs eat birds. They do--a lot. I think once they get the taste of birdie, they just want more. It's sort of like frog cocaine or something.
So, yeah, when I saw the frog eyeing the hummingbird the other day, I had to intervene. That wacky hummingbird is so curious, she was all but asking to be frog dinner, so I chased her off and then moved her feeder. At the size of her, she'd make a lovely appetizer.

If they can eat snakes, why not?
Glad you intervened. I'd hate to see the bird eaten.
Daisy--LOOK OUT, Daisy! I tell the kitties to stay far away from the frogs!
Veronica Lee--I hear they eat each other too--because they can't differentiate between their prey. Blech! I would be mad if they ate that little hummingbird!
We had hummingbirds in NC but Ive not seen a one in NJ :( I loved those little guys....
YUK!! I am heartbroken! :( Bad, bad frogs. I didn't care for them very much before... now I hate them! :(
The Purina Co. makes every kind of Chow known to man. Everything except "Frog Chow".
Too bad for the birds.

Oh my gosh, I have never even imagined a frog would eat a bird...UGH!
EEEEEKKKKK!!!! With all my baby chicks here, that's about all I can say. I know when you're hungry, you have to eat and it's natural but Yikes!
It is like frog KFC!!!! But eww..that beak has got to cause some indigestion!
OHhhhhhhh....Did we really have to see this? Ohhhhhhhhh....... Glad you saved the hummingbird!
Yeck...yeck...eeewww. We have toads and frogs at the bottom of the garden. I'm keeping my eye on them now:( I don't want my hummingbirds to be eaten. They are very nosey little birds always sticking their beaks in....one actually followed me right to the back door yesterday and I almost crushed it when I closed the screen door.
They are omnivores so if they can catch it, they'll eat it. Got to give them credit for the catch.

OMG!!!! I did not know that frogs ate birds! Good thing you chased him out, he seems like a badass frog!
I never thought of that! What the heck!~
Bull Frogs will eat other Bull Frogs if they are smaller. That is an amazing shot!!!
Oh that's so not right! I thought they only ate bugs and drank Budweiser!
Oh my god, really? Do they eat rodents too? If so, send them my way, we have a citrus rat situation in our attic.
I had no idea frogs ate birds.
They're fast enough to catch birds?!?! Wow, I had no idea. Cool and yucky photo. LOL
