| Just a quick note. I was reading this thread the other day and wouldn't you know.... my husband came in from taking Cooper out to go potty and he said now that was to close for comfort. I asked what happened? He said he was standing along side Cooper and heard some crows making lots of noise. Then out of the corner of his eye he saw something - looked over and saw a bald eagle land in an oak tree in our yard. He picked Cooper up and tried to make enough noise to scare off the eagle. Whew... we live in West Central Minnesota and no snow as of yet. I'm not sure if that's the reason??? Who knows. |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | That's terrifying! So glad your hubby was so alert! Eagles don't show up often in our side of town but they can. I do the same thing when I see them. That's a good tip to be alert for racket from other birds. thanks!

| In my part of Pa. we have lots of prey birds, my yard is safe, too many tress canopy the yard, it's when I walk Cody my eyes are to the sky for prey birds, to the woods for stay dogs and always looking over my shoulder for a dog that may have gotten out of their yard or house. YES always be vigilant when out with your fur babies.

Yorkie Talker | Yorkie weight I am about to purchase a little girl. She is 8 months and 2.5 pounds. Her hair is thin but she is healthy. The breeder says her little brother pulled out her hair. She say it will grow back. What do you all think? 5 |

| Hello and welcome to yorkie talk I think the seller should provide and up to date health certificate from the vet, that way you make sure you are buying a healthy dog and that the thinness isn't from a health condition like mange mites or a thyroid issue etc. i think it would be worth it even if you paid for it and you and her went together to the vet before the sale was complete- the money you would save in the long run would be well worth it if you paid for an exam and she was found to be ill and you did not purchase her. Of course my hope is that she is in excellent health and you find yourself with a sweet new beautiful girl. Let us know!

Yorkie Talker | I have a 3lb boy from her. She is a reputable breeder. She said that I.could choose another little girl. She is 2.10 pounds and a year old with a long beautiful thick coat but I have fallen in love with the other girl. I have been waiting for 6 months for her. She would not let her go until now because of her weight. Will keep you posted. |

| Update on bald eagle: Dave was out again just last week with Cooper and did not notice the bald eagle sitting some 50 ft away in a tree in the yard. He scooped Cooper up and came in. That bird is scoping out our little one. Scary! |

| Yes, very scary, seems like that eagle is trying to learn your schedule, have your DH check your area before going out.

| I agree and we are both watching for it. Now that we have a foot of snow and no leaves it should be easier to spot it, but that also means that the eagle is looking for food also. I am thinking of making a covered run this spring for him so he can be outside and safe. |

| Covered run sounds perfect. Poor Cooper can't go for walks with prey birds stalking your area. Were I live we have the Delaware river which is appox. 7 miles from where I live, the eagles stay and nest on the cliffs, there's plenty of fish for them to eat. I see Falcons and hawks where I live, they can't "swoop and grab" in my back yard, to many trees canopy the back.

| Turkey vulture's are dangerous? I have a large flock of them in my community, about 20 including the babies, they come behind the back of my fence, I open my back door and they meander off into the woods. They look ugly but I never heard they were prey birds, I have to research that.

| Ok this is what I found on Vulture Turkeys Turkey Vultures Aren't Interested in Our Pets It turns out that our American turkey vultures aren't interested in our pets at all—or in our kids, either, for that matter. They probably wouldn't even eat a dead dog or cat that's in the road. They prefer to eat herbivores, not carnivores or omnivores—in other words, they eat animals that eat plants, not meat. They'll even eat some vegetation. They also won't go after anything that is moving, only animals that are lying still and appear to be dead. Thank God
