    Disclaimer: This is not a Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus), it is a European Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus)! Sharp-shinned Hawk has never been recorded in the wild in the Western Palearctic, let alone Great Britain, where this video was taken, and I am not aware of a European Sparrowhawk having ever been recorded in the wild in North America. Different continents can often hold different species. Hope this helps a tad :)

    one of the understated skills of these bird of prey, aside from their superpower vision, sharp talons and very capable beak, is their sense of balance which keeps them on top of their victims as they struggle for their last ounce of energy to stop the inevitable. painful but part of nature. not any different from other humans do to other humans.

      Dude...Humans don't rip the clothes off of other humans then rip into their bodies as they pin them to the ground and start eating them alive.
      That's just a shockingly poor comparison... I don't know what your train of thought was when you rittled out this piss poor sentence but please...just delete it, it's straight nonsense.

    What's unsavouru about these birds of prey is that they don't try to kill their prey before eating them so the prey is suffering as it's being eaten alive.

    I wonder if falconers have ever bred captive sparrowhawk x sharp-shinned hawk hybrids? They're so closely related and it wouldn't surprise me if they could hybridize.

    Birds of prey have such a firm grip. It's very difficult for prey to escape.

      Strange though, isn't it, that this kind of subject always seems to be an irresistible magnet for those that find things hard to watch. O.o

      Claro, así no queda nadie que controle las poblaciones de estorninos. Luego éstos se multiplican por decenas de millones y provocan un colapso de los ecosistemas. El pecado es tu ortografía amigo.

    again people not a sparrowhawk, it is a sharp shinned hawk period. sparrowhawk is slang for American kestrel

      @BestestGardenPal  5 лет назад +2

      Please read the disclaimer. It's quite simple: just google Accipiter nisus. We tend to have different species of birds in Europe to those found in the US.
