Millions of baby birds are killed each year by uncontrolled animals. Do not trim your trees or shrubs during nesting season - between April and August. Birds can also nest in tall grass so be careful if you use a brush hog or weed-eater. Avoid pesticides between April and August. Remember, some mole cricket eradicators also kill many birds when they eat the poisoned insects.
Some rat poisons can kill owls, hawks, eagles and also cats who eat the poisoned rat.
It is a gruesome sight to see a Great Horned Owl die by poisoning.
