(our famous local river rats can be huge) i thought maybe the lack of rodents are causing the owl to look for new prey. does anyone know how to deter owls? i am planning on just walking my yorkie until we can owl proof the play area. will putting up fishing line over the yard work? what can i do? please help. |
What a scary story. I have always had this same fear with my yorkie being outside. I was more scared of hawks, I never really even considered owls. HOw scary!
