Is there any rules against having a small bird feeder in the back yard ?

i am sure there is no law against it but I got rid of my bird feeder and bird bath after watching on numerous occasions, hawks swooping down like aerial assassins to consume them. I watched in horror the disemboweling of a little bird and thought - not worth it. I see other hawks and predator birds sitting on rooftops watching the bird feeders doing the same and getting great results. This was also a problem in Maryland and our community voted against having them because it drew the Cooper Hawks, etc. Yes, this is their land, etc but I dont think we should make is so easy for these birds to hunt the feeders. And to lure the little birds to feeders only to become bait did not seem like a fair fight. But I did love watching the birds feed and knock seed down for the ground feeders. But everyone has to make their own decision.
