So numb right now. Daisy was killed by a coyote this morning. My son let his sweet ducks out of their pen to frolic in their little area that has an 8 foot fence surrounding it. He went across the street, and 10 minutes later saw a huge coyote dragging his beloved Daisy over that fence minus her head. It was that quick.
We are in shock and so much pain. Daisy was my son's everything. He rescued her when she was abandoned in the wilderness, and she's been his therapy bird ever since. She brought him so much joy, and now she's gone. We are wrecked.

Oh my goodness oh I'm just so terribly sorry. I feel so terrible that your son had to witness that sight of her being dragged away. You're all in my thoughts. Fly high and free sweet Daisy you were so loved and so special.

OMG, that coyote returned in broad daylight again! I looked out the window to check on Penny who was in his pen and there it was. He leaped with ease over our fence, and then a few seconds later attempted to jump back inside. I growled yelled at him and he hopped down. Called my son who was a few minutes away and he raced back to see him standing just outside our fence. He chased him down, and the coyote left, but stared him down as he was running away.

I am so extremely worried about our Penny now. He's going to keep returning for him. Calling animal control right now and we have brought Penny inside to sleep inour spare bedroom.
This animal is hungry, bold and relentless.

That's terrifying,thank goodness that Penny is OK. I hope animal control is able to catch him before he does any more animals harm.

I'm sorry for the loss of Daisy, and how terrifying the coyote is still around.
Praying you can keep Penny safe, and animal control can take care of the coyote.
