[COLOR=000000]Adding information as we go![/COLOR]
I ran into this..... Assistance From Other Animals http://voices.yahoo.com/keeping-hawks-away-chickens-7003038.html?cat=7Guinea hens may be noisy, but they are an excellent alarm system. Any predator that makes an appearance in your yard will be cause for a great deal of squawking. The guineas themselves are generally too large a target for most hawks, and so are not often taken. Dogs can't be everywhere at once, but they can help. Some say pot bellied pigs make decent deterrents as well. Keep in mind that domestic animals used in keeping hawks away have their own needs that must be met. However, [COLOR=FF0000]purple martins[/COLOR] do not require our help and can be encouraged to stay in an area with gourd nests. These birds sometimes chase off hawks en masse in order to protect their young and have the added feature of eating mosquitoes. Bald Eagle Wind Spinner
