Predatory bird problems

[aart]

Hello,

Found out what happened, and it is VERY interesting.

When I went out to see the chickens while the hawk was there, My rabbit, Sophie, was out while the hawk was there. The hawk did not go in to take the rabbit, even though he could have done it easily. He flew off when I got out there.

This may sound crazy, but I think the hawk attacked the chicken, and the rabbit attacked the hawk to defend her chicken friend. The hawk may not have wanted to mess with Sophie.

This isn't the first time, this same rabbit killed a stray cat that went after the chickens, so it wouldn't surprise me if she went after the hawk.

The chickens are fine now, they are all calmed down.

Makes me think of that killer rabbit in Monty Python Holy Grail movie.

Regardless, you better get top on your run, that bird will be back, killer rabbit or not.

My chickens were attacked several times but after getting our cat we didn’t have any problems. My kitty isn’t big but she’s feisty!
