I dont think that bright colors will deter a hawk or an owl. If I remember correctly, I believe they are colorblind.(not sure though) They are opportunists and if hungry enough will swoop down on any small animal. Also, its hard for an animal to bite a hawk or owl if they are being carried away by the skin of the back and neck by very sharp talons. there is not much to bite. some might get lucky and squirm enough that the bird drops them. |
