[QUOTE="starlinka, post: 549013, member: 5908"] Yes they will eat eggs, in the barn they have eaten a lot of eggs and baby birds that were nesting under the roof. I got tired of it and plugged all the holes, and then installed birdhouses on poles. Ten birdhouses have baffles, the other four have fence. Just a few days ago I found two rat snakes in the barn - 4'3 and 5'3 long. The eggs and babies in the birdhouses were intact. I relocated these snakes a couple of miles from here close to a swamp and cornfield. Adult birds usually stay alert and if they hear some suspicious sound, they will leave the nest. But snakes can be very quiet . Here’s pictures of these snakes. The shorter snake was very gentle, almost tame :) [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/ladrinka/wildlife/P1010034Large.jpg[/img] And here is 5-feet long snake [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/ladrinka/wildlife/P1010060a.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/ladrinka/wildlife/P1010071a.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
