We feed ours grain-free food, and play with them quite a bit, with fishing poles and lasers. They go outside, but generally stay in the yard, and neither has gotten a bird in the two years we’ve had them. Also, since they were bottle fed almost from birth (their mother was too sick to nurse them, let alone teach them to hunt), they never learned.
