Try sleeping with six chickens!

I imagine that is impossible.

In my experience, no eagle or hawk will be afraid of you. They will consider you not a threat and hunt anyway. They laugh at me and have tried to attack chickens at my feet while I was sitting in a chair next to them. They have no fear of me at all.

Yes, and I think this is a function of how urban your location is, and that shooting them is not really possible in urban places. What the history is and what the birds have learned depends on where you are.

In my area, for instance, you cannot approach or even walk along a road hundreds of feet away from a Great Blue Heron standing fishing at the edge of a lake, or get at all close approaching a hawk resting in a tree, or crows, too, they will all fly away. Here many locals disregard most laws when it comes to guns and hunting - shooting anything out of season if it suits them, shooting near roads and buildings, hunting and shooting from a truck on the road, etc.

Conversely, when we would visit MIL in urban Florida, we could walk within 20 feet of a heron and some hawks, as long as we stayed on the road or path and appeared to be one of the many people doing the same.

Still Tied

In the longest running contest ever, the second round of voting ended in yet another tie. We are down to 2 now. I need everyone to step up and vote again. One more time.

Lilly. Fear the Brow!
