At night lately we have been hearing the hu-hu-hoot, hoot, hoot, of a couple of great horned owls. Most mornings I find a few tufts of bunny fur when I take Mugs out for his morning run/constitutional. Don't think it is cats doing the killing. They leave a lot more than a few tufts of fur. Good for the great horned owls. I love hearing them, and occasionaly seeing them in a tree at night. Rabbits do a lot of harm to Ms. Doris' garden. We have a black and white cat that's been showing itself regularly.Yesterday it offered up a 200 yard shot but I wouldn't let my kid shoot it.I'm pretty sure that little sob is the reason for the decline in our rabbit population. Last winter we had 7 rabbits coming to the corn I put out. This year, one. After having all their young, one rabbit. Guess what I noticed last year? We now have 2 cats roaming the neighborhood. My brother put a trail camera under his porch last year, EIGHT different cats using that space at times. He has not had bunnies in years.

We didn't have roaming cats until last year Mutt. Don't hear owls here.
Two brothers are overrun with feral cats and neighbors that feed them.

A whole pack of feral cats are far easier to remove than a murder of crows.

I think you can treat the seeds but I don't believe all of it is treated. If you are planting field corn it is more than likely treated and has been for some time, it comes out of the bag pink. Sweet corn is about the only thing you can get that isn't and some of it is treated.

Big difference in a planted field with twenty crows working it over and perhaps 100 or more. I have seen both.
Certain times of the year and in certain areas, there are far more crows than "need" to be around.

I don't want to kill them all, but if we could get their numbers say down to one, I would be quite happy with that.
