[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live on a farm and have some Cooper's hawks nesting in one of my trees. When I mow hay, they hunt. Once one of them scooped up a full grown wild rabbit to my side, then took it to a fencepost and devoured it. I don't know how much they each weighed, but I wouldn't think what you are doing is absolutely safe. It's a risk. It'll probably be fine for a while, then one day it might not. I'd probably be OK with the risk when I was out there, but not let them free range all day.[/quote] OP here. Is there something I could put in the backyard to ward off the hawks? Shiny metallic objects, maybe? [/quote]
