This book highlights the misconceptions surrounding birds of prey and their impact on agriculture. The author elucidates that indiscriminate killing of these birds, often motivated by exaggerated fear, is counterproductive. It presents detailed research on the dietary patterns of various hawk and owl species, categorizing them into four groups: wholly beneficial, mainly beneficial, harmful and balanced. The author emphasizes that species like rough-legged hawks and barn owls play a crucial role in controlling crop-damaging rodents, while others like Coopers hawks and goshawks cause significant harm to poultry. The book's extensive examination and scientific evidence challenge the prevalent biases against birds of prey, advocating for informed decision-making and the protection of beneficial species.
