Hi, haven't been here for a while, some of you may remember my stray rabbit Zoe I caught just over two years ago... anyway she's doing great but all of a sudden there's a kite that flies over the garden and I'm really worried it'll take her.
I used to see the odd bird of prey every few months but since last week I see this one often, once or twice a day. So far I don't think it's seen Zoe as she either runs in really fast or usually sits still and I cover her head so she can't see it, then usher her in to her shed once it's past. I'm too scared to let her out now in the next few days but that won't last as she'll get fed up with that. This one flies really low circuling the gardens in the street then seems to just move on, sometimes coming back within minutes. Before this I've only spotted them high up in the distance.
Does anyone have any tips on dettering these birds? Anyone know anything about them like times of day they're most likely to hunt, if they'll go for her if I'm near? Any advice appreciated, thanks.
