How can I keep hawks away2007-11-24 17:20:26

I own some pet pigeons and about 3 years ago my favourit pigeon was taken by a coopers hawk, I loved her so dearly she always followed me around outside and danced towards me..I still miss her very much she was also a great breeder as a mother.

I seen another hawk over my pigeons today.. what can I do too keep these birds away?

I have heard of hawk traps where can I get one?

I swear that hawk better not go near my birds or it won't live to see another day!

Just kidding lol I would never hurt it lol, so any sugestions on how to keep this preditore away from my little beautiful flock of roller pigeons?

Thanks.

Oh boy

You have a predator who is looking at your pets as prey. In the wild Pigeons are often a Fave of Hawks.

First you should know that you can not legally interfer by trapping, trying to trrap or harming the hawk.. however much a pain he may be.

They are protected and some are even endangered..

I really doubt plastic owls will scare him off

You can trty typing plastic grocery bags near wher ehe lands as the noise of the wind rattlin them will disturb him.. but it may bother your birds as well if its too close..

Also mylar balloons will sometimes keep them away

Fact is if this hawk has it in his mind that hes going to hunt there .. he will be VERY hard to move off

and even once you have not seen him.. does not mean hes not still around so be careful..
