Please use other ways of getting rid of your nuisance pests. Owls, hawks & other raptors will eat a poisoned mouse or rat that runs outside! nitter.gq/ocasvt/status/83738603…

Just a reminder that rat poisons kill raptors. buffalonews.com/2017/03/01/r…

What killed owl at Forest Lawn? Maybe not what you think.

It wasn’t the attention that killed the owl. Nor a predator. Nor toxins near Scajaquada Creek. Most likely, it was rat poison. The 2-year-old female Great Horned Owl found dead

Garden birds don't prefer the same colour of feeders as people would prefer - green would do for both! #ornithology journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…
