The broken plate with the bird food


I remember he sees the plate he fed the bird on broken on his window sill. I assume his daughter broke it but I don’t remember her doing so. For a moment I thought she might have killed the bird but nothing was ever mentioned afterwards.

I wondered also

I think implied she broke the plate, but not shown. Presumably because he cared for the birds when he did not care for her (or so she thought). No suggestion she is a bird-killer.

reply

Agree. At one point we seen her look at the plate, there is no reason to think it is someone else. Your reasoning you give for her broke the plate make sense.

reply

She definitely broke the plate but as for killing the bird, you ever tried to grab a bird? The only way she could’ve killed it would’ve been to poison it, and if she was going to do that she wouldn’t’ve broken the plate.

I just figured it was an overzealous woodpecker that broke the plate while feeding.
