Are there any decoys to scare red tailed hawks from your yard?

If there's a hawk in your area, you have plenty of food...which can include snakes. There is not too much that I know to deter a red tailed. They're considered a blessing, and highly adaptable as well as intelligent.

You can't really prevent the hawks from reaching the birds. If you see a hawk eying a baby bird, but it hasn't snatched it up yet, try to scare it away, but be careful. Remember, hawks are capable of seriously injuring or even killing people. If the hawk already has the baby bird, it's too late.

How do they get the name chicken hawks?
There are three species of hawks that are colloquially called 'Chicken hawks', the Cooper's Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, and the Sharp-shinned Hawk. Although it is more a misnomer since Red-tailed hawks, who rarely eat chickens, tend to stick with small to medium sized birds, reptiles, and up to 90% of their diet composed of small rodents instead of the larger fowl. Cooper's hawks specialize in eating birds but, again, more the medium sized birds they can catch on the wing and kill with their feet and talons. The Accipiter hawks' wings and body are shaped for fast, low, agile flying in and out of tree limbs chasing their small flying prey. It is even a less fitting name for Sharp-shinned hawks, they eat small birds, rodents and insects mostly. Juvenile hawks might be seen eating chickens due to their undeveloped hunting skills, taking an easy prey, but that would be a rare occurrence. So it is unclear how these three species have become so often known as Chicken hawks. It may be since they will all be opportunistic predators and the chicken yard would provide easy pickings when chicks are out in the open and easily picked off.

What can scare a baby hawk?
Not much! If you are around loud sharp noise sometimes. Also REALLY depends on habitat. City/country hawks they typically are less scared than pure country predators. I have been watering mid day city/country area and had several buzz me in my yard at about 20' land on the ground and screech at me. So if you can use this info and maybe gather some more you can keep you informed. LJ
