Harry and Meghan have been warned of a cougar roaming their neighborhood. Your chickens are said to be in danger.
Prince Harry (37) and Duchess Meghan (41) have been warned of a puma currently roaming their neighborhood. The couple have been instructed to secure their $14.6 million estate in Montecito, California. Especially her flock of chickens is an easy target for the predator.
Chickens are easy prey
As “Mail Online” further reports, the cougar had been spotted on surveillance video just five miles from her home. The clip shows the animal creeping down the driveway of a house, past garbage cans and a car, before disappearing into the distance.
Experts suspect that the big cat was actually in the mountains in search of food and water. Because of the currently severe drought in California, it could have penetrated into the inhabited areas. Sharon Byrne, executive director of the Montecito Association, said: “We want all local residents to secure their homes and chicken coops and any other animals they have. Chickens can be a quick and easy source of food for hunting animals, so they need to be protected. ” Despite all the concerns, Byrne also gives the all-clear: “Mountains are loners and ultimately don’t want to be around people, so we hope this animal will move on on its own.”
In addition to cougars, the area is also home to coyotes, bears, and deer. Therefore, the residents were also advised to close their garbage so that the animals could not rummage around in the waste. Night lighting, alarm systems and cameras should also be helpful.
Harry and Meghan rescued chickens
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan adopted rescued chickens during the pandemic. The poultry also appears in the children’s book “Unsere Bank”, which Meghan published in June 2021. As part of their scandalous interview with talk icon Oprah Winfrey (68), Harry and Meghan gave a look behind the scenes of their home. In one clip, the three were seen in the open-air area of the chicken coop with the words “Archie’s Chick Inn” written on them.
