Then the past couple of weeks I've had someone break into my shed twice. The first time they took a cage of finches, the second they actually pulled a nestbox out of the aviary and kill the finch inside - who was sitting on eggs. They also broke the locks on one of the chicken coops but, thank god, didn't touch the hens. It's made me very wary though - I worry that now they know the chooks are here, they might try and come back.
Yeah - it really sucks. I know humans are pretty horrible - they can break locks etc and be rather cunning about getting in. Still, I wouldn't want to come face to face with a bear!Oh sorry about your human thief situation. That's really unfortunate. You know, I'd much rather be dealing with bears, coyotes, and bobcats than humans. Humans can be much more dangerous than these animals... So I actually consider myself... lucky?
Still think you ought to set up a trail camera or two, hidden, of course, & present the cops w/visual evidence.
Lovely trio, @chicken hawk 33 ! I've got three in the bator now. Love silkies.
Oh, that's totally happening. I got my motion sensor alarm up today - three different sensors around the garden that wirelessly connect to an alarm if they're triggered. Just checked - the dog doesn't set them off, but I do. Great stuff!!
