Nuisance Hawk - 2005/12/15 06:48 E-mailed to birding.uk.com

Could you tell me how to scare hawks away from my dove cote. They have just taken my 3rd dove, I now have only 3 left. It an awful thing to witness and I want to ensure I protect my very peaceful doves from this very aggressive nuisence bird. I feel I will have to take drastic action to protect my garden from this bird unless someone can come up with a solution to help scare this predator away.

Re:Nuisance Hawk - 2005/12/15 06:49 There is a commercial product called Guard 'N' Eyes balloons from Dazer
UK that is designed specifically for this purpose.

There is a simpler deterrent in strings of old CDs although this is less
effective for this kind of application (it works well to protect garden
feeders).

Re:Nuisance Hawk - 2005/12/15 06:49 Guard'N Eyes Balloon ScareCrow

This unique product helps keep Raptors (Hawks), Magpies and other predatory type birds away from your garden area and allows your garden birds to feed and nest in peace.

This product is widely used by racing pigeon fanciers to protect their racing pigeons. Through the recommendation of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds this balloon is also used to protect domestic garden areas, garden fish ponds (from Heron atacks), free range hens, etc., and many wildlife sanctuaries.

Guard'n Eyes has been featured on the BBC's Inventor's Eureka programme.

Guard'n Eyes is made of strong vinyl, bright yellow in colour, with a startling eye pattern around the circumference. It can be simply inflated to about 22 inches in diameter and comes with a hanging thread and a streamer tail.

In agricultural areas this balloon can also be used to protect fruit crops, etc. from feral birds.
