This morning i glanced out the back door and watched a rather large rabbit chowing down on dandelion seeds and stalks. It would snap off the stem and then very methodically chomp away on the stalk as if it was a piece of spaghetti. I'm glad that we let the dandelions grow for the rabbits and also the birds that have been enjoying the seeds. I noticed the chipping sparrow is fond of dandelion seeds.
A short time later I looked out again to see that the rabbit was in the mulch near the patio nibbling on grass (and probably bird seed) while three big crows were scavenging for seeds. The rabbit looked rather unnerved by the crows... she would nibble and stop, and start then stop again. I'm not sure how a rabbit feels about a bird that is much bigger than it... and has been known to chow down on dead bunny...
I opened the door to move the crows along... the bunny looked relieved.
