Well, they can be a great mess and must be cared for properly. I know that because I have a rabbit. It also might be hard to get a professional vet for him/her because not many people know everything there is to know about these furry creatures. And cats, dogs, raccoon waste, poisonous plants, noisy children, all these things and some more are bad for a rabbit. Obesity can be fatal too. But rabbits are cute, friendly, and are great companions for a bad day, or good days too. I recommend that you get "Rabbits for Dummies" if you are getting a rabbit. I learned a lot from that book.

They are endangered because of humans hunting it for its fur.
The wild populations of rabbits were drastically reduced by the deliberate spreading of the disease myxomatosis in the 1950s and 1960s. This was done because there were so many rabbits they had become a serious pest to farmers. Myxomatosis spread out of control and seriously reduced the rabbit populations to a fraction of their former levels for many years. Although rabbits virtually disappeared from some locations as a species they were never seriously endangered. Now rabbits populations have almost recovered to their earlier peak and in some areas they are again pest to farmers.

Birds eat insects, spread seeds, and even act as alarms. The bluebird will alarm about a snake.
