Lkillkenny has good concept!

Yes the BOPs are protected fully! No room for variance. I made the required phone calls well before pulling out my Gamo 1,00fps dead accurate pellet rifle. Junior had over 50 breeding pair of "show chickens" that had a value of $500 for a premium biddy rooster, The hawks and owls were tearing them up and I was told that we had to cage against attack. No matter that these birds were ripping the chickens out of round pens made of 2X4 wire with a metal roof... It was our job to modify...

get a paintball gun and it will not harm the hawk, just scare him away. also works great on neighborhood cats that chase the gambels quail in our neighborhood

Paintballs from a paintball gun would be illegal on several levels of the law and they most definitely could hurt or kill the birds. Paintball injuries on humans include eye damage, ear damage, broken teeth, broken nose, broken fingers, and organ damage. Veternarians have to deal with paintball injries to pets as well. So they sure as heck will harm raptors. Shooting at or hitting with paintballs would include violating pursuit, hunting, and potentially killing.

Then depending on the state, there would likely be additional state law violations as well.
 
There was a situation in CA this past spring involving a pair of Great Horned Owls who were feeding on folks smalls dogs and cats.It appears folks before going to bed at night would let their dogs out to potty and they were not coming back! Some cameras set up found what was happening. Fish and Game told the neighbors no worries the owls have nothing to fear and your pets do.
