How is it possible that a hawk can kill button quail through a 1/2"x1" wire? I came home today and noticed a hawk on my cage. As I drove up the drive in my car he flew away. I got out my car and went directly to the cage. I had 4 dead and 5 badly injured. The cage is 4 feet long, 2 feet deep and 2 feet high. I was shocked. It was late so I covered the cage with blankets and tacked them down till morning when I can deal with the situation. If I build another cage using 1/4" wire, will this be safe? Is there a way to deal directly with the hawk? Some way to rid of it? I do not have a gun. Thanks for any input you can give me. JB
