kathyinmo, You have a very good point and I realize that. Thanks for posting this. I guess that's what the aforementioned poster was using as a reason to post what they did. I don't worry about what might happen but at the same time I don't want my birds purposely exposed when it can be prevented. We need to do what we can to protect our flocks but at the same time we need to relax and enjoy them and not worry too much about what might happen. Kinda feels like walkin' a tight rope...lol. Very interesting and informative thread, thanks all!!!
