If you fly your birds outside with hawks in the area, you will loose a bird here and there. That is just the way it is. After some time, the surviving birds will get wise, learn to avoid the hawk, but even then, the hawk will get a bird now and then.
If you do not want to risk loosing birds, then keep them inside. One other options is to build a large fly-pen or screened enclousre.
