Yeah I have laying hens and I live on a lake. I have one that stops by everyday and sits in a tree over the coop like he is trying to figure out how to get in there. As soon as he lands I hear the rooster tell his girls to go in the hen house. They are Defintly a serious predator in the wildlife community, although very beautiful. He can have all the bunnies he wants come garden season though, those guys can do a number on your flowers and crops, and in just one evening. Don't let their "cuteness" fool you. They are destructive! I would rather have the hawk anyday
