I don't know about everybody eles's Malays but mine are like small raptors around small animals. If it is smaller than they are they will attack it, kill it, and eat it. Mine would not be safe around kittens or bunnies or small dogs or cats. To my birds they would be food. My cock killed a 7ft black snake that wandered in his pen and he was eating it when I found it. I keep an eye on my grand kids when they go with me to feed them but my birds have never bothered them while they were with me not to say they might when I was not around. Some of my birds are as tall as my small grand kids. But around me my birds are as sweet as can be just like a pet dog just every small animal beware.
Sounds good to me! Maybe they would eat the wood rats my chickens are scared of. They're big sons of guns, I seen some 12" long.
Wonder if the Malay would go after a hawk attacking the flock? Would be nice to have birds than can take care of themselves since "the law" says I ain't supposed to take care THAT particular problem for them!
