Hi folks, Well, I took the ferrets out for a walk (in their new leash-n-harness sets) today, and noticed this crow cawing loudly on a branch overhead. As we made our way down the block, the crow followed us, hopping from tree to tree, and continuing to caw. (I think it was a crow. Large, black bird... and it looked capable of carrying off a ferret-sized creature). When a few more crows began to arrive, I grabbed the ferrets up from the ground and doubletimed to a different area of the neighborhood to continue the walk; eventually we stopped being followed. So - my question is - would a crow be likely to try and make off with a ferret that I was within a couple of feet of? I want to be able to take the ferrets out for walks - they enjoy the walks so - but I don't want to risk them being mistaken for breakfast by the heftier avians of the region. *Sigh* Pyrophage [Posted in FML issue 2316]
