There are two more reasons, and that makes three.
I was once standing in a hedgerow in the last minutes of evening light, hoping for a deer, and an owl came and flew four times around me in total silence, ten feet away. He thought I was a treestump, and I am very glad he didn't imagine something roosting in the ivy. Thank goodness for my belief that foliage printed camouflage is invisible to a deer.
I also know a man who runs a falconry centre, who told me all the birds of prey are a bit like airborne sharks, with phenomenal senses, but morons compared with a crow or a parrot. They do quite a bit of rescue work, and he said Harry Potter was a bad break for owls. People with no knowledge of the subject used to acquire them, legally or illegally. But when they didn't bond with the owner or bring letters, they ended up in the cupboard under the stairs 24/7.
We have one owl that hangs around close to the place and we see him commonly. I have a bad enough problems with mice and field rats getting in my shop that I wish he'd be a little more diligent in his activities though.
I always built my stands as tight encloser as I could.Never had any problem with unwanted animals or birds.I never had buzzards to roost on the top either.
Are my kids/grandkids more important than "o"'s kids, to me they are,darn tooting they are!!! They deserve the same armed protection afforded "o"'s kids.
I have been hoodwinked but not by"o"
In God we trust,in "o" never trust

Somebody mentioned electric fences and their use, etc., my bro-in-law last spring/summer had raccoons eating up and literally tearing down his garden corn patch. He tried regular cattle electric fence around the corn to no effect. So he hooked up one 110 volt hot wire around the corn. Next morning he had several dead raccoons to deal with. Have to think some things through. Big Boomer
