Oh they are
We are dealing with a LOT of predators -- but the birds are definitely an issue! Hawks, owls, ravens, eagles... all will jump on the opportunity if handed to them! We went for a thicker metal mesh but a lot of people here just do string every foot or so. They say it works to deter the birds of prey, but I'd still be wary.
So glad you posted about the hawks and fencing the run's roof. BYCers are always saying how important it is to fortify our coops/runs from predators no matter from what angle they come!
