My parents place, a predator got himself into their pigeon loft killed everything but left the guineas alone? There was a fisher here that one of the dogs caught attacking a swan. She killed the fisher we got it taxidermized. For a animal that weighs so little they are big wow. But anyways. The animals wil use trees and wont set foot on the ground. Winter is here dogs go inside. IS there anything we can do to convince the predator to go to the ground? Those big hava heart traps. Wee set them on the roof if the coon or whatever is big it will smash himself to the ground. THe dog can get out if we leave the back door an inch open. But the predator didnt show. I set the trap many times on the ground and he wont come or we just trap my cat. Is there anything coons or other predators just cant resist? I also thought here (upstate new york area for americans) Most would be hibernating? SO guineas not touched. Killed a pigeon but hardly ate it? IT has to be really agile because that coop is 18 feet long and keeps going. 8 feet up. Also a light is on and that is a racing pigeon. I was thinking mink but the animal is still strong enough to knock over a big cage. The outsdie of the coop goes deep into the ground like a foot so digging doesnt work. Still cant see where he got in from. There is a tiny hole we did find and patched that up. But its so small a cat could not get through.WHen in there whatever it was went on a rampage. YET he stayed far away from the guineas????
