      in reality, Americans never do that. They intervene only because of their interests (plundering), though it is usually wrapped into some "humanitarian" pretext. Then again, I know that American folks doesn't have much to say about anything, and that they are only unfortunate victims of their greedy elites, and the system. But you also can't blame average people around the world for not recognizing such details and therefore hating and despising Americans as a whole.

    Even though red tails are much stronger than crows, this is a young red tail and this is probably the first crow he/she has killed and is still trying to figure out the best way to subdue the crow. I’m sure the crow didn’t last much longer though, red tails are just too powerful.

      I don't see any "inexperience" there. That behavior is mostly innate anyway. For the hawk, as for any other bird of prey, it's "safety first" at the workplace, which does not mean to kill quickly but to keep the prey item at bay in such a manner that it can't do any harm, no matter how slow the death. With a crow, the most dangerous weapon is the bill and certainly not the feet (or wings). Hence the hawk goes for the throat/head and waits for the crow to lose strength so it can be safely plucked and eaten. If the hawk tried to begin sooner, it would risk losing balance and in the process losing its grip on the one weapon the crow has.

    It’s equal parts fascinating and horrifying. Reminds me of the time I found two dragonflies flopping around on the ground at the beach. One was holding onto the other like a backpack… of death, cause it was munching on the back of the other dragonfly’s head while the other dragonfly tried to escape. After a little research, I learned this may have been two males in a territorial dispute. Dragonflies have always been really bad ass to me and I love learning new nature facts, but that… mm. It was definitely a little disturbing to go from “oh, maybe one is trying to mate with the other” to “nope this is active cannibalism and one of them is still very much alive.”

      I am aware crows are very intelligent.
      Rats are also decently/relatively intelligent. It’s not a completely un-apt comparison.
      But even then, there are a lot more crows than hawks, so just in terms of raw value based on scarcity and federal protection? The hawk wins.

      Well red tail hawks are a pest to crows habitat when it comes to nesting. They are rivals. Crows usually provoke red tails around nesting/mating time if they spot them too close to home. Even though 9/10 they are walking away dead. Unless more hang on a red tail and he surrenders, flying away.

    I'm a Falconer and I had my Red Tailed Hawk in my backyard on a perch and Crows gathered in the tree and they got loud. 2 big boss man Crows dropped down to harass my bird and he sat there and when one got close enough he grabbed it and promptly began plucking it's feathers in preparation of a nice meal. The sky went crazy with screaming Crows. That day I bought materials to build what's called an open air mews which is just a pen outside my bird can safely sun in...

      They were a pair of red tail hawks today being harassed by crows in my neighbors yard. The red tailed hawk‘s were making cries very loudly for about 15 minutes and one of the red tailed hawks flew away with something in his talons with the crows following. Do you think the crows were hurting the Hawk? Or were the Hawks vocalizing to protect themselves? The other hawk stayed so maybe they have a nest. The tree is very tall.

      True. Crows and Red tails are natural rivals/enemies though. This is common, just rare to spot in most cases. In some cases, Red tails sometimes kills crows to send a message to other cries nearby, not to eat. They prefer to eat their young. But when crows actually hang up on one red tail, the red tail surrenders.

The crows try to act tough and switch branches like those little birds are just a nuisance, but they end up flying away when they get tiny bird after tiny bird diving into them. I would have thought the crows would do the same instead of just keeping their distance and hollering. Anyway, I like crows and I think they’ve been represented badly in cartoons and stories, making kids grow up thinking they’re evil or something. I’ve never thought they were evil. Now maybe I’m thinking they’re just a bit cowardly.

      These are natural rivals. But it takes more than one crow to take a red tail down. Crows work like herds, so red tails usually kills one to send messages to other nearby crows. Crows fear a one on one fight, or a red tail that’s very savage lol. Crows act aggressive to red tails in most cases, because they protect their young. As red tails prefer the eggs or baby birds than an adult crow. As it’s an easier meal. That’s why crows go crazy when they see a red tail.

    Yo creo que salvar una vida es lo más gratificante para un ser humano, la naturaleza no te puso ahí para que filmarás morbosamete. Entonces... Simplemente no hubieras grabado.

      That situation happened, it made no difference if someone filmed it up close or not,it's nature and how on earth did someone filming it have any influence?

    I wonder what would've happened had you not interfered. Were you ever able to teabag the Hawk? You only needed two more steps to reach your goal.

      @@Encourageable The crows made several aggressive passes at the hawk early in the video, though in the footage we see they were always concerned about the human standing nearby, and moving closer. The closer the human moved in, the less the crows dared to defend their buddy. Without the human moving in close, the crows would have continued, and in fact would likely have escalated their aggressiveness, the way animals that rally against a predator typically do. They have to "work up to it". Even mighty African water buffalo, have to get "worked up" before they start becoming earnestly assertive toward a predator, sometimes eventually saving their buddy from the certain-death clutches of a lion pride. It's absolutely 100% within the normal and natural behavior of a murder of crows (←exceptionally smart and calculating birds) to rally against a predator that's attacking one of their own. We'll never know just how far this murder of crows would have gone in violently pestering the hawk, ...because the human showed up and stopped their defensive group counterattack completely.

      I disagree, the cameraman wasn’t close and did not intentionally interfere. He zoomed in from a distance. The crows are cowards and only pick on birds smaller than them or any animals they think they can bully. They’re very smart until they’re not. And this one was not.

    There's an omen behind this scene...It means, this crow was used to a bad cause.. And that's the end of of that ordeal. Hawk was meant for the good and now somebody is spell free.(if you can believe that)

      No, it’s just predator and prey. Animals have no spirit - only humans.
