A huge bird stole my chicken!
« on: May 03, 2008, 12:28:52 PM »

 Shocked Ok, so I'm outside putting out junk for a yard sale bright and early, when I hear a bunch of commotion from the 4 chickens in the yard.  (these chickens belong to the neighbor who abandoned them after his house burnt down, so they come over and I make them some popcorn)  I look up to see this giant bird flying away with a chicken!  It came back after dropping the poor creature somewhere and the other petrified chickens where cackling in my bushes for a good hour!  I think I've been traumatized.  It kind of looked like an eagle!  Damn thing might try to take my little puppy!  Eldubb may be sleeping with chicken's tonight if that damn pterodactyl is still hanging around! I need to make the poor things safe.  My puppy already chewed up their rooster! Dunno

I've seen Hawks swoop down and snach birds about 5 feet off the ground.

Joe, that is horrible.  Are you saying one of those birds killed your dog?  My dog is a female Rottie and she thinks everybody and everything is there to play with her!  I don't want that thing around here.  Do you get arrested for shooting at them with paint balls? Madd

the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, under which both felony and misdemeanor counts are possible. For conviction of a felony under this act, the maximum penalties are two years in federal prison and up to a $250,000 fine

I had a lady that was a customer of my generator shop. She had a small home unit. One day while I was there, she was complaining that some sort of kingfisher or something was stealing fish from her pond. I built her a rig that used a motion sensor that activated a solenoid valve that allowed water through a sprinkler. It worked. Every time something got near the pond, it shot a stream of water in that area.

On a cool note, my building at work overlooks Central Park. One day, while having lunch, I saw a hawk snatch a pidgeon right out of mid air. My mouth was full of food, so I was pointing out the window grunting. A couple of guys wer sayin' I saw it!! I saw it!!
