There was a guy around this area that sold hawk boxes to encourage birds of prey to set up in orchards. He had a whole method, which was apparently pretty solid, and went around to farming events selling the things.
I seem to recall his name was literally Ben Dover, and he'd give you the look of "yeah, just say it."
Oh, I found an article on him: https://www.goodfruit.com/kestrels-scare-off-cherry-thieving-birds/
