OMG, you guys! I feel like my Guinea dream is over!
I lost two (!) of my birds Thursday a week ago and this was after I saw a bald eagle 30' over my car on the road home, about half a mile from my house the week before that. S/he was carrying a squirrel in the claws and dropped it and I thought, oh S$%^, not here, please.
I feel so bad about not protecting my guys better but I did let them out after that sighting, hoping for the best, and then April 28, two did not come home.
Yesterday I have seen the bald eagle being chased by two smaller birds 30' above my pasture where the Guineas usually hang out.
What can I do? This eagle is going to pick them off one by one if I let them out again... They are miserable inside and I lost my little Guinea paradise and tick control I have built up for the last 10 years. I am so distraught.
Any advice?
RIP Agali and Bernie - I hope they died quickly - nature is so cruel.
