question about scaring of Hawks? - 04/14/14 11:07 AM
Howdy
A lady at school knows I trap and asked me how to solve a problem. She told me a Hawk was using her mother's bird feeders as his or her grocery store. It seems like Hawk had taken up residence close by and she sees it knocking off her song birds.
I told her that it was not legal to bother them as I they are protected. I told her to call a game warden and he told her to stop feeding the birds.
Is there some type of decoy like an fake Owl etc. that would keep the Hawk away? I feel kind of bad for the old girl. Lost her husband not all that long ago and she gets a lot of pleasure out of watching and feeding birds.
Thanks
