Hawk Question (1 Viewer)

[Vonholle]

Hello All

I have a couple feeders in yard Northern Kentucky. I have many bird visits each day.

Now I also have a Hawk that is taking a bird a day.

Should I keep feeding the birds?

Welcome to Birdforum.

Hawks have to eat, too.

Hi Vonholle and welcome to the forum on behalf of the staff and moderators. I think you will find us a friendly and helpful group. Unfortunately, hawks finding the feeder is not an uncommon problem. I did keep feeding when we had a hawk. Try and make sure your feeders are placed near trees and/or bushes the birds will usually dive away.

yes absolutely. you're providing a bird feeding station so where's the problem?
