Earlier today A dead bird was being shredded and fed to the chicks.

Earlier today A dead bird was being shredded and fed to the chicks.

Years ago one of those had a disclaimer on it since one of the parents had caught a cat and was shredding it to feed the chicks. Years ago a co worker lost her 2 little dogs to them here. She has warned her other half to not let the dogs into the yard unattended. He was too lazy and let them out but when he went to check they were gone. When they looked at the camera's they had they saw a couple Eagles come down and grab them for dinner.

Same around here where I live.

People are warned NOT to let their little, slow moving dogs out unattended for the same reason - including the Great Horned Owls we have around here. They are huge and pretty quiet.

MANY seem to never quite grasp that to apex predators our "pets" are just "food". Often people who live where there are apex predators get all bent out of shape due to them not taking precautions. Hey if you choose to live around the predators you have to remember you chose to live where they hunt. We have a (I assume pair) of some type of large Owl that hunt here. They are amazing to watch and damn are they quiet. One night while walking one of my dogs who is too big for it one went right past my head. It was after some small critter my dog had spooked. It was amazing how quiet it was going past me like that. One of them will often perch on one of the poles the camera's are on to look for dinner.

Oh, dude. I can't hardly believe how many 'lost dog or cat' posters I see around my area.

Some are pretty high tec - full color, 3 X 5 and posted on poles and and signs all over.

Get this - I once saw one where the verbiage said (for a lost dog) '$500 reward - no questions asked'

I mean really ? Did they think their dog was taken hostage ?

I hate to say it but most lost animals around here are cougar or coyote chit.

We have the Coyotes around us. I feed the wild rabbits so the dogs will not try to dig under my chickens fence and so far we live in semi peace
I see lost cat posters around here a lot and now and then find what's left of one that got eaten by the wild K9's. I have so far been able to successfully trap one cat that had wanted posters in the area. Called the people and they were over the top happy to get him back. I warned them they got lucky this time that I got the cat before the wild dogs did. They said the cat was now going to be inside pet as it had used up a life or two.

Looks like a Great Grey and yes they are incredibly quiet! IIRC different outfits have studied them over the decades to figure out how they fly so quietly so they can adapt it to aircraft wings.
As for living where the predators are, it is amazing how folks seem to think that they are immune tyo the natural world. Where I live we have everything from shrews to grizzly bears. If you want to keep your pets alive you pay attention when you go outside.
