HELP A hawk has flown into our warehouse and he wont leave How do we get him to fly back out the bay

He is just roosting in the rafters. Loud noises makes him fly around in circles but not out the doors. We have 2 "garage style" doors. Any suggestions?

HI

I see a lot of answer here but noe that are 100 right on the money.

First. Its true he may be sick..

Secondly if you live where you are getting some nasty weather right now he may have flown in and is not in a hurry to go

But most likley he got in there when chasing a mouse and now is having trouble getting out.

Be aware .. all Hawks in ALL 50 states are protected birds .. also

Some are endangered as well.

Having said that,.. IF you can leave the doors open and leave it alone then do so.. see if he will go no his own.

I would not try to feed it anything.. CERTAINLY DO NOT put on a leather glove and hold food up!

This is not a trained bird.

I have a link to a local Raptor center we have here,, really good folks they do tons with eagles and other raptors and also
