Most humans would not go to greater lengths to protect a rabbit than a human baby, in this case cuteness does not correspond directly to the effort someone would be willing to expend to protect a rabbit vs. a baby. We can't get birds to report how 'cute' they find something, we can only infer from their behaviour how they respond to different stimuli.
