So the plastic owls work? Hawks are afraid of owls? I wondered if one of those would work...of course they also have plastic hawks...that may attract them, lol.

Wow! thats crazy... I thought my hawk was bold...it tried to snag a rooster off my front porch once, they actually hit my front door fighting. He didnt get a chicken meal that day, but has gotten plenty (I should say "she") Its a mama hawk and her baby from last year, well dont know if the baby...
