Please help, Hawk attacking my doves! please

Posted by mggoh (My Page) on

I had brought this house last december. Recently, the Hawk has been attacking the doves. There used to be 22 doves and now only left 10 doves. I desperately need some advice on how to prevent the Hawk from attacking the poor harmless Doves. I had put CD around the garden and the dove court and still it doesn't seem to be working. I am very sad seeing them die.

Thank you very much and hope I could hear some replies...

Plant some dense shrubs and trees, so they have somewhere to hide.

Otherwise, you can't stop nature. The doves will breed through the spring and summer, increasing their numbers again. If they all bred and all survived with none more killed, you'd end up with first hundreds, and then thousands, of them. Nature finds its own balance. It may appear cruel, but it is natural.

Get a plastic OWL 18" high at HD or LOWES for about $4.00 and put it on a 6-8 ft 1+1 stick ( it has a hole in the bottom so just slip it on the stick)and the hawks will be gone real fast. good luck from the USA -- don
