Young Monkey Kills Black-eyed bulbul.

Today while at a morning meeting, a yearling female vervet monkey attacked and killed a black-eyed bulbul. In what seemed to be just some striking attempts by the little monkey ended up in the poor bird loosing its life. The other monkeys in the proximity did not join in the commotion but just looked on until later when the bird was completely dead and the little monkey was hesitantly playing with it, that is when the bigger monkeys came in and stripped the bird into pieces and ate it.

The few bulbul friends who had been watching and singing a chorus of complaint gave up and flew away obviously with so much oblivion and hate for the little monkey who killed their colleague.
