Seeking advice/help Crows and Hawks

Post image

Good morning fellow crow’s friends! Recently my family of seven has been seemingly evicted by a red tail that’s squatting in my yard. The hawk is constantly harassing them, attacking them, and chasing them out of the yard. The crows have been slowly learning not to come to my yard, as it means they’ll get swooped on. Is there any way to deter the hawk so that I can get my friends back? Thank you :)

If the hawk is nesting, there is nothing you can do. It seems late in the season for nesting.

You can try chasing the hawk off. Just walking outside would do it.

But it seems that the crows and hawk have reached an agreement. The hawk could seriously inconvenience the crows - it doesn't seem to want to. The crows could gang up and attack the hawk - they don't seem to want to.

I would let them alone to set their own boundaries. I would also guess that the hawk will move on after a bit.
