My dog has been on a killing spree this summer, sometimes catching 2 birds in a week :(. It's amazing how the birds react when she catches one. They all go nuts, and more fly in and start squawking. I worry they'll call in a hawk to carry her away lol.

If you find this interesting, you should really look into the intelligence of crows. They've been observed to remember human faces, wait on traffic lights, plan, and a whole bunch of things that are very impressive. And don't even get me started on _jackdaws_.

usually dog tags on the collar is enough. Otherwise, have you ever thought about attaching a small bell to the collar so that it'd warn the birds before the dog catches them?

Corvids (crows, ravens, magpies, jackdaws) are pretty bright. Some of them also have quite a bit of voice control. Like parrots, they can speak human words if trained. https://youtu.be/rIX_6TBeph0

Hopefully she's learning that she gets a bath and I get grumpy every time it happens too.
