Maurine L. inquires:
I live in Fort Worth, Texas, as housekeeper to Milo, the U2.
At a Master Naturalist meeting, I met a man who keeps several Harris’s hawks.
They do grackle reduction work for him.
He goes to shopping centers at night with one of his birds, who catches a grackle or a pigeon, and all the other birds in the flock leave.
For a long time.
His hawks stay pretty busy, he says.
Yes Maurine, even with lower traffic at shopping malls, birds have always been a problem in big box stores especially like Home Depot and Lowe’s that have outdoor warehousing.
Not as entertainment.
Not as a playful companion.
They are hunters used worldwide in sport hunting, especially in the middle east
Craigs 22 birds were fed thawed out baby chicks the came on pallets containing ice cube-like cardboard trays.
