The fact that the chicken hawk is a protected species is retarded.....that is all.

So, your hawk trap worked. I wouldn't publicize that too much.
Cool video, however. |

Hawk was playing Possum. Looked like he was saying "Come at be bro!" I killed this motherfucking chicken and I'll be damn if you don't let me have it. 
Sorry for the loss of the Chicken, but as mentioned, it's a bird of prey and the chicken is the prey, so! 
Thanks for sharing, glad the Hawk was good to go, they're beautiful birds. |

FSA. Anyone with more than one chicken didn't come by it honestly. The hawk was just trying to get what he deserved. He heard about his "Obama Chickens" and figured he'd help himself, that Chicken won't be coming home to roost anytime soon!

Possum hawks are dangerous....just stick your hand down there if you don't believe me.
Whilst i have not personally had any runins twixt my chickens and the local possum hawks, the neighbors tell me "what happens off camera, STAYS off camera." That being said, i have no personal knowledge of any possum hawks having ever been harmed in the "not" filming of a video. |

Red tail hawks and karakaras ate the shit out of our chickens (like 7 or 8 in about 6 months) until we got some guinea fowl. Guinea fowl are fucking gangster.

I have heard about hawks "playing possum" (seriously) when they are cornered/flying is not a means of escape. They will do exactly that, lay on their back with their talons up and basically play dead. If you had stuck your hand down there.....bad things would have happened to your hand. I had only read about it, I had never actually seen it - cool video. Sorry about your chicken though. I started wondering that too, good on OP for not touching it! You never know what that guy might have done, I didn't like the look in it's eyes!  No joke! When he moved the first time and I saw he wasn't dead, it would have been enough to cause me pause. |

Quoted: Quoted: Protected species. Expect to get loved gently by the feds. When the feds show up, get proof that the hawk was theirs. Then sue the shit out of them for damaging your property. We read a case about that in law school. Guy shoots a bunch of geese for eating his corn. Gets prosecuted by the feds. Sues the feds for the damage done by the geese protected by the feds. Loses. |

Thats odd. Any clue why it was acting like that? Almost like it had been hit in the head with a shovel prior to the videotaping. No proof the hawk killed the chicken. Perhaps the hawk was simply enjoying a nap on a comfy dead chicken when you tried to anally violate it with a shovel

But the "look" on that hawk....as someone stated earlier, looks like a dog after getting busted, roll over and that "look" like "Wut?"
Never thought they would play dead either. Thought maybe your bird hurt it at 1st |

I get to watch Redtail's hunt all day in the RR yard I work in. Grain hoppers drop grains of all sort on the rail, pigeons swarm the grain, Redtails hunt from atop light poles and riding thermals above the yard. They strike out of no where, then drag the pigeon away and eat the breast out or fly it to the top of a telephone pole and get to chowing. I even saw one trying his damnedest to drag a racoon across five tracks to a dead area of the yard. Guy could barely get it off the ground. He had a hell of a time eating that big ass meal.
Some damn good times watching those birds... |
