John, They sure would if they could! Our 4 are house cats...we don't let em loose on the ranch. They would kill lots of things and lots of things would kill them. So it's best to confine them to quarters. It's a harsh life in the high mountains of Colorado. No sense letting 4 trained killers loose too.
2 years ago I saw a mountain lion take a full grown doe not far from my East porch. All sorts of various critturs in the food chain. But yeah I count em every day, still got 4. OH! You may mean hummers..Too busy filling feeders to count em. 650 pounds of sugar I have to come up with every summer. 12 quart feeders we fill twice a day at the height of the season. Keeps us hoppin.
