Obviousy, the hawks already hunt there because of the pigeons, so don't let your guard down. Yorkie would be a tasty treat over pigeon. I have a relative that lives in a country setting and she created a fenced in area covered by a tarp for her pup to go potty because she was afraid of the hawks. I'm guessing since you are in LA and live in a condo that you don't have that option. Is your patio on the first floor and does she go out there to go potty or is it higher up? Maybe you could stretch some clear fishing line across somehow or something like that as a deterent that would be out of your way, but would deter a hawk flying in again.
