OMG! Yesterday I let my four out into the tiny backyard and I stayed at the door to watch them. Next thing I saw was a 4-5 foot wingspan shadow come across the sidewalk! Thank God I left the clothesline up... it hangs across the walkway... the only thing I figure may have deterred this bird.
I read that mirrors (like gazing balls) and shiny objects in the yard may help scare off birds of prey... and I concentrated everything shiny in this part of the yard... still scary! |
