Nature's War Birds Fight Rodents Urges Hawk Owl Protection
The American Game Association promotes using owls and hawks as “fighting planes” to combat rodents threatening crops. Missouri experts warn drought and mild winter may boost rodent numbers, urging protection of beneficial birds. Bennitt of Missouri urges farmers to consult state game departments to identify harmful species and avoid indiscriminate killings where few hawks and owls threaten poultry. The report notes the great horned owl is outlawed and lists several birds as enemies of rodents.
