Hawk that Patrols Wimbledon Skies – Stolen!
British officials are seeking the return of Rufus, a beloved hawk whose job it is to keep pigeons away from the All England Club, The Guardian reports.
A police spokesman said Rufus was taken from a car parked on a private drive in Dunstall Road, Wimbledon, with the rear window open for ventilation.
The hawk, which deters pigeons purely by his presence, is also a family pet, he said.
