Hawk Rescued From Drowning, His Reaction Was... 

Maybe he miss huge where the frog was and knocked in to the window and got knocked a little dizzy

Good job but this water tank seems like a death trap for them. Can you maybe cover it?

Berly, Blake Kirby (10 hours ago) said that the tank was emptied and given another purpose.

Are those rattlesnakes I hear in the background?

@@franktank4360 crickets. :)

Thank you for that encouragement.

So great! Thank you! Updates on the hawk? Thank you!

@@daddykirbs you didn't just rescue that hawk - and by knowing what you were doing and with such thought and care - but you brought joy to everyone who had the good fortune to read this - many thanks to you, and much love xxx

Thank you, God bless you.

Sorcier X: Not even a screen?

That's a good idea. to leave a log in the water tank. I fell in the cow's water tank, in fact, I was trying to get a drink and they pushed me in. I couldn't even grab hold of the edge to pull myself out. I was only 3 years old. Thank goodness the folks heard me crying. Cow's could care less. haha

canadianperspective :- I do the same with my two small decorative ponds in the off season. In the summer season the fountains provides some visual warning of water, but in the off season I place flat boards floating in the ponds for the same reason as you.

smart thinking

Your a smart cookie!

@@markcarew6724 :- Good idea.

The worms and insects were holding their breaths. Now they are disappointed to say the least.

Lmfao exactly!

everyone tough till they get wet

@@antoinepaullepote5476 -- You don't know that. The fact that you bad-mouthed him says more about you than it does him.

@@antoinepaullepote5476 exactement ! le type veut sa video

Thank you so much!!

How sweet!

Thank you, they know kindness and do not forget.

Wow. That is cool.

Lots of people say pigeons are rat birds, but they are smart and affectionate, who often do truly seem to appreciate when they are helped. Sadly we treat them poorly in society, but I'm glad you helped one in trouble.

@@Tyler11821 I don't doubt they're treated poorly in places. Something I've noticed here in Phoenix though, is that despite them being everywhere (especially outside of grocery stores), I've never once seen anyone do a single thing to harass or scare them. Pretty cool, I think..

death will do that

I noticed, it was tired.

always be representin an intimidatin

Yeah totally : )

So true!!!!

flying rats

A few years ago in winter I was doing some chores in my backyard and came across a common buzzard. The poor bird couldn't fly anymore because he got caught up in a icestorm. I caught him with a fishingnet and quickly examined him. He was very skinny and needed ammediatly medical care. So I took him to my shack, put him in a big bench I had used for my dog and left him alone. First I covered the bottom of the bench with an old soft bathtowel and covered the bench with a dark coloured fleece blanket. Because the roads were covered with a vry slippery layer of ice the animal ambulance wasn't on call so I had to drive with risking my own life the buzzard to the centre. I did cause I love birds of prey and somehow he knew I wasn't going to hurt him cause he let me handle him easily and he had numerous oppurtunaties to defend himself and injure me but he didn't. I didn't made eyecontact with him and al my movements were slow and calculated. I also talked to him on a soft gentfle tone and made sure he could follow my every move. I wasn't affraid to pick him up cause I own chickens for more than ten years so I knew how to handle birds. He was very dorsile and after a while he relaxed and when I arrived at the centre and carried him inside the owners couple were impressed by my bravery appearance. They told me that the bird could have easily seriously injured me if he wanted to and I replied I already knew. They examined the buzzard and told me I did the right thing. He was a adolescent male, severely weak and skinny and would not have made it to the next day. They really appreciated it I drove through icy and dangerously roads to took him to them. He wasn't be able to fed himself enough to make a good start of surviving the winter bu because of my actions he stood a good chance of pulling through. Because they saw I knew what I was doing and had a great knowledge of wildlife they offered me a volunteer job but I had to decline cause of my three kids and a job on irregulare base. It felt really great my effords were really appreciated and that I rescued a favorite kind of bird of mine and that I had the oppurtunaty to watch a large wild bird up close and personel. A few weeks later they called me if I wanted to be releasing him and I did. It was a magical and very touching moment to see him fly away, strong, healthy and back in his natural enviroment. It was a once in a lifetime experiance.

Thank you. You are a good man.

Thanks Carly for what you do :-)

Thanks for what you did Sabine. The buzzard wouldn't have made it without your help. Sure. The vet helped rehabilitate this buzzard but you began the rescue. You're awesome

Thank you Carly, your professional statement put my thoughts into words & gave me courage to speak. I've had something special with birds since childhood. Wild birds have followed me, hopped on me, landed on me & nests have fallen inches in front of my feet. Birds know where I live, they've come crashing into my screen door... or waited patiently on my door mat:) Each needed help. From tightly tangled wings restricting blood flow to hardened gum destroying a foot, even shots from a pellet gun... I was 8-9 with a heavenly & deeply prayerful love for birds. But young, with "no internet" I had to learn all on my own... a lifetime of wins & losses. Please people, give a helping hand to each life you pass by, if it fights to live or suffers. But remember this video as a guideline, check with pros, provide safety, & allow nature to reestablish its own footing:) Thanx Blake Kirby, & Carly.

same :'D

I thought the hawk was about to jump back in and I would have died laughing. The hawk has had enough

ROFL, me too :D

yeah, its not the smartest hawk aroud ^^

yea i was looking for this comment, hahahah thought he was gonna go right back in

Haha!

Hawk: *”I WANNA REFUND”*

hes a hawkaren

Hahaha. I died laughing. What a humorous comment !

same thought

That hawk was so cute and beautiful❣ 😍🤗😘😗😙😚👄💋❤💘💓💕💖💗💜💝💞💟

i love people who are kind

ian Bentley.. How do you know, you love people who are kind to animals, "more than anyone" You must be godlike. With over 7 billion humans in the world, you're either a LIAR or just plain stupid!

Maybe he meant to say anything rather than anyone🤷🏽‍♂️

Lol that 1:33 can be the meme

3:58 This is MUCH funnier! X3

What a lovely comment!

@@suemitchell4950 I know right

That's really cool of you to do. Check one here, found a hawk and snake going at it octagon style in the woods. I intervened not knowing at all what to do, hope you like it.

Oh haha well if you see two wild animals fighting you should definitely leave them alone! 😅 Not only could you get seriously injured but that’s nature taking its course. That hawk was probably hunting the snake and needed food. The only time I’d intervene with fighting wild animals is in cases like when two bucks have entangled their antlers and they’ll both die. But even then you have to really know what you’re doing or call for help by professionals.

@@xradelox Did you watch? The hawk was gonna die, you can see I left it alone, but returning a few hours later, I just felt the need to help. I saw the hawk the other day, its back feathers are still messed up a little, but it's OK. You wouldn't catch me trying to mess with a deer that's still alive, them guys are staarong!

It was a fun family experience :)

They deed good

I thought juvie RSH myself. So fluffy, wide-eyed, and trusting. I would have been inclined to remove this little one from the tank where it got waterlogged and wrap it up in a warm dry towel. Even in water that feels temperate--70-90 degrees--they can lose body heat quickly. Birds' bodies run hotter than ours, so loss of body heat can kill them even when they might have a good chance to survive. (Overheating is also a problem when they're stressed or injured.) Over the decades I learned that if a bird is very upset in such a rescue situation, covering its head with a light (breathe-thru-able) cloth helps calm them till you can re-situate them in a safer location. That coupled with warmth helps them bounce back. It's not uncommon for juvenile birds to fall into water. Their downy feathers get waterlogged then there's no way to get out. We set out tubs of water during droughts for all the forest animals and always put a clean branch in it so anyone falling in can climb out. That this little raptor remained calmly floating was both wonderful to see...and also sad, for this would have been an extended and terrible end had it not had such a kind and caring person come along. One last thing, moving very slowly, talking low and kind, and not staring at birds' eyes (they are shy about eye contact with strangers) are three things that can keep their contact with us less stressful. Sometimes people are so eager to help they rush at birds, hands flapping, eyes a-goggle, and making noises. This isn't comforting for birds, since it's the behavior of predators. Having said all this, kudos to Mr. Kirby for his instinctive kindness to a member of the greatest creatures ever to live: avian maniraptors!

The Buteo lineatus each year overall nesting success can be lower than 30 percent. Early mortality can be due to natural causes, relating to harsh weather conditions, or more often starvation. Young hawks are often parasitized by species such as Trichomonas gallinae, Protocalliphora avium, and blood parasites. Humans, unintentionally or intentionally are a threat to red-shouldered hawks, including hunting, collision with electric wires, road accidents and logging. A further common cause of mortality is natural predation. Raccoons, martens, fishers and large arboreal snakes can predate eggs, hatchlings, fledgings and occasionally incubating and brooding adults. Non-nesting adults, being a fairly large and powerful predator, have fewer natural predators, but both during and after the breeding season as well among nestling hawks they may be predated by great horned owls, red-tailed hawks, barred owls, other red-shouldered hawks, northern goshawks, peregrine falcons, prairie falcons, and bald and golden eagles.

That's an adult chicken hawk it hung around for the chickens

@Solo-man A I understand hawk language, and I can confirm that he was calling for his mama. And, if you listen closely, he was also telling you to chill.

@@L1Run lol

You can tell from the plumage that it's clearly an adult, well past the juvenile cycle, and capable of living independently. Hawks leave their parents and begin fending for themselves while they still have their juvenile feathers, so it probably wasn't calling for mom but rather as an exclamation to signify of its presence or to defend potential hunting territory

It's an adult

That explains the puppy eyes ovo

I thought it looked like a recently-fledged juvenile, as well. How to ID it as Red Shouldered Hawk?

There are bits of solid color on the shoulders, seemingly.

I thought it looked like a baby!

No wonder it was so fluffy! Student driver, lol

LoL

And puffed up

Thank you for doing your part! :)

Water tank not closed I did not dislike but nosey liberals did

3:58 Should've liked after seeing this tho.

Thank you Miz! It was fun to be a part of this bird's journey. I'm glad we got it on camera :)

right back to you. hugs

rofl looked like he had been blow dried

Hey dude I agree with you. You could cover that pool up. Nasty nasty!) so others won’t get in it and drown.

I was thinking the same thing haha!
