Aloha Grim,

Yes we do have a native hawaiian hawk (I'O). I have a resident pair that visits my airspace almost daily. So far I have a couple of birds injured by them but non taken that I know of.

There have also been reports of Peregrin Falcons migrating here. Luckily, the state wildlife biologist, on this island at least, recognizes that they don't belong here with all the endangered birds that inhabit these islands and are working on ways to keep the Peregrins and other non native bop's from becoming established here.

I hope they are only visiting.

The hair spray is safe and washes out in a few weeks. It also makes for a very colorful flock of birds.

I thought that you were using it as a "hawk repellent"! Some people think that hawks won't attack these colorful birds. Then again some disagree.

Great looking birds you got there Dexter. How many birds do you have?

[bigislerollers]

Whats up Eric.

I have about 75 Rollers at this time. Also have 2 English Carriers and got stuck with 7 (almost pure white) Bandit grizzle racers.

I wanna see some pics of your English carriers and Bandits. Why do you say stuck with them Bandits? I'll take a pair off your hands if you want to.
