any koi safe turtles?

are RESs particularly yummy to predatory birds like herons or hawks?

Herons eat their prey by grabbing them
and taking them right down the gullet.
So the smaller the turtle the more danger
they are in from herons. I expect there
is a size that a turtle would get to that
the heron would think twice before attempting.

That said, I did read of a heron who really
miscalculated and speared a turtle right
through one leg hole and out another.
Got the turtle stuck on his beak...

I'm not sure about hawks going after turtles.
But I would not rule it out.

kathy :-)
