Kill the quail. Have the board read the definition of poultry in regards to the hawk.

there are lots of threads on here on dealing with HOAs but it isnt easy. no the hawk isnt poultry so you can fight it

Chances are you're screwed. Most HOA's say somthing like: "No Animals, except domesticated dogs and cats and other household pets." I wouldn't point out that the bird is not a household pet first off. Second, it's not poulty no matter what they say. The definition of poultry is "domesticated" birds and no hawk/falcon qualifies for this. Honestly your best bet is to just keep the bird and dont tell them. Just get approval to build a storage shed the size of your mews and dont tell them that you're storing a bird in it. Good luck.
