An Australian woman got the shock of her life when a carpet python swallowed a king parrot whole, pictures posted on the Internet show. The incident happened in Agnes Waters, Queensland, Australia.

The surprised woman took photos of the python’s attack and sent them to snake catcher Stuart Mckenzie, who posted them on his Facebook page.

They show a two-meter carpet python wrapping itself around the parrot while hanging from the gutter of a house.

The python eats the parrot head first.

“Some bird lovers may not like these pictures but the reality is that snakes eat birds, and, guess what, birds eat snakes,” Mckenzie wrote on his Facebook page. “Circle of life. Enjoy these awesome pictures.”
