I can tell just what the threat is by the sound they make. They even have a sound for when the dog is harassing them. But they are brave souls. As they mature, they reach a point where they charge the attacker. I have seen them actually chase off the hawk and a coyote. I am sure the hawk figures a hoard of noisy screamers charging at him may not be worth the meal. I call it the shock and awe approach. Trust me, they need that one year under their belt and they are different birds. Sadly they become the most acute when they do lose a bird to the predator. I guess that image sticks for the remainders. And much more quiet. Good things come to those that wait. And have ear plugs.
