Do you think a predator bird might see a yorkie in clothing and think, "Hey, that's not an animal. It has clothes on" and then leave her alone?

And about the covering over the yard idea above...I've been trying to figure out an affordable way to do something like that too. Ugh...
I personally would not let them out if there's a predatory bird about...w/clothes or even a leash. Hawks are opportunistic hunters & doesn't care whether you are 5 feet away or standing right next to your fur baby, when they get the chance, they will strike.

Yorkiemom1 informed us in another thread that the hawks see our yorkies as bunnies.
