jannakaye, that makes me nervous, a possum. Altho I have never seen ours out during the day..
I usually like the smarter animals the best! Even if they're more likely to figure out how to get into trouble :)
Wow, horror indeed! Do you think Alexis might have had an easier way to escape if she was outside of a yard?? Interesting.
I'm in the city, so luckily, during the daytime we don't really have predators unless a cat could get a smaller bird.
Jannakaye, are you saying a cat could kill a mallard (adult female)? I'm not worried about being buddies, I just don't want a stray cat to eat her during the daytime.
I've had exposed bantam chickens and they were OK, but maybe their sharp beaks are more intimidating to a cat??
Thanks for your...
Hi mallard people, could you help me out?
How loud are mallards compared to most ducks? compared to quiet breeds like Cayuga?
Also, are cats a threat to mallards during the daytime? And what if their wing feathers are clipped?
Thanks so much
