This is amazing discussion.

Yes Jeff, the Crows drop feathers in the yard chasing the Hawk .'Pet Hawk' holds his own VERY WELL against usually three Crows that cant beat him off a kill of Jays or Juncos  and have to wait their turns for fish I give him.

Well Sharon, we had a Great Horned Owl we got as a baby and kept him for several years.  Samson was pretty much a pet like a cat or dog.  You could actually hold him against your body like a pet chicken.  Sometimes would fly off at night and grab something, usually a mouse or gopher, but once he had a big hairy tarantula spider!  Owls are unique in that their feathers do not make any noise as they flap their wings; they are absolutely silent fliers.

I prefer owls myself. I once had my cats bring in a sawit owl (very small). It got away and was sitting on top the fridge next morning. I wanted to keep it, but didn't.  Has anyone ever worked with an owl instead of a hawk?

Cool!  RS Hawks are beautiful birds.  I used to be a Falconer years ago.  Had a Redtailed Hawk, a Cooper's Hawk and a little falcon, the American Kestrel.  It took a lot of time to work with the birds, but hunting with a birds of prey is something I will never forget.  Hey Steve, a hawk will keep his distance from crows if it can.  Crows hate hawks, just like dogs hate cats and will chase, and harass them whenever they get the chance.  A large hawk could easily kill one crow, but crows are never alone...

never named him anything other than 'Pet Hawk'

No the Red Shouldered friend hasn't ever dropped a feather for me . Bluejays/Juncos he kills and Crows feathers have all been gathered from the yard and incorporated into jigs that I use. I am the worlds sloppiest tier though.

...and have you named him?

You use the feathers from the birds he kills?  Wow.  Show us one!  Has the hawk ever left a feather for you to use?
