WHEATON, Ill., Feb. 22 (UPI) -- Officials at a zoo in the Chicago suburbs said they have relocated 11 small ducks to protect them from a nearby Cooper's hawk.
Zookeepers at the Cosley Zoo in Wheaton said the ducks were moved to an enclosed aviary with its own ponds after the hawk was spotted stalking the area around the zoo's duck pond, the Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday.
Zoo director Sue Wahlgren said the ducks will remain in the enclosure until the migratory birds return in the spring and provide the hawk with a more acceptable food source.
Wahlgren said the zoo has previously lost a small chicken to a Cooper's hawk, and zoo workers suspect the bird stalking the ducks could be the same hawk.
