Sadly a lot of eggs are lost to feral cats and chicks are sometimes taken by birds of prey. She successfully raised a chick in 2007, which has been living in a large flock to the south of Broome. They will move away from the chicks to distract the predator and I have seen it work very well with dogs!

I once knew a guy who kept and raised cats. I find it astonishing that people argue of whether feral cats are bad for birds in North America. This almost certainly can be argued to be true just on the basis of logic, because feral Cats are proficient hunters and are entirely out of ecological place. Unless we put them there.

In the case of fox hunting (a true bloodsport), dogs are domesticated animals that are killing, not for food, but for sport.

Half a decade ago, in a little mountain town about 60 miles northeast of San Diego, a feral kitten dragged his front left leg uselessly. The dog-loving owners of the property in Julian where he sought refuge rushed him to the local veterinarian, who informed them that if his leg was amputated, he could live as an indoor cat.

By far the most commonly seen bird on most of the islands in the region – and the only one every islander can identify on call – is Gallus gallus (the feral chicken). There are any number of concerns one could raise. Can we find a suitable island free from feral predators that would devastate the introduced species?
