They constantly grab snakes here and fly off with them.
When we are out, within 20 minutes, there they are, circling overhead. They swoop down low, we talk to them. They're very beautiful. AND BIG. These ladies are enormous. It's why we didn't let Mikey out until he was of a biggest enough size, that the ladies Walenda, wouldn't put the snatch on him and turn him into a hot lunch.
Watcher's offspring, we haven't named him yet.....

We STILl have a HUGE eagle nesting across from us in one of the tall trees here. We think maybe she has already snatched some of those gorgeous rabbits we would see in the yard.
Okay, incoming whatever.... I just now decided to call our eagle girl Snatcher. Bahahaha.
So that's why we NEVER let Miracle and Breezy out here. Plus a neighbor up the road has two huge black dogs which both cats were freaked out over. Very friendly to us though.
At the previous house, Miracle would go out some with supervision.
But neither of them ever tried to run out or sneak out. They both KNEW the eagle was there.
I've seen videos of eagles and other large birds pick up goats (which are LARGER than cats!) and smash them against the rocks. So we were like NOPE, you kittehs are staying inside as house cats. Y'all can catch the bugs and mice. And we buy fresh wheatgrass plants from the health food store for cat grass nibbles.
So when Breezy first showed up two years ago, Rob was like YOU ARE COMING IN. Very much to Miracle's dismay at that time. Miracle was really pissed at Robert and actually attacked him.
But he got over it, and they became buddies, after all.
And there are rabbits again this year. So we need to pray for them, and Snatcher can go fishing in the huge lake instead. Catch us some fresh rainbow trout, will ya?
