| | | Very Defensive Robin.....
Hiya everyone,
Just a quick one just wanted to see if it's normal for our garden robins to chase our rabbit ?!? I went out the back to see if my rabbit was ok so I bent down to say hello and daisy our rabbit came over to see me and 10 seconds later had a Robin swoop down around about 1 foot from my face and attack our rabbit and trust me she isn't a small rabbit.
Thought it may be a one off...... Looked outside around 20 mins ago and they were both chasing the rabbit around the garden. I am actually amazed that my rabbit is letting this happen as he can be kind of aggressive herself but she's being walked on lol
Kind regards

I can only imagine that your rabbit may be near their nest or fledged chicks inwhich case they are just defending their offspring- not picking on her.

Perhaps they're trying to get fur for the nest? Try brushing the rabbit and leaving the fur out on the lawn
