The caretaker was inspecting his tropical garden when he discovered one of his pitcher plants had trapped the bird. He was "absolutely staggered" to find it had caught the creature.
The larger pitcher plants frequently take frogs, lizards and mice, and the biggest ones have been found with rats in them, but to find a bird in one is pretty unusual.
It is believed to be only the second time such a carnivorous plant has been documented eating a bird anywhere in the world.
