i raised and released two orphaned sparrow hawks when i was a child. they were found on the bluff at a beach in southern california. we nursed them to health and kept them for about 3 weeks till they were ready to fly. we released them where we found them. we would return to the beach and they would dive bomb us and fly around excited to see us. awesome birds.
No way, so that's what you're up to when you aren't on task harassing honest sceptics for daring to think for themselves about where they actually exist? Was it in the Scottish part of California at the beach? Is it a beach I can visit and then assume I must be living on a globe at too?
@@Beyond_Belief534 43 likes and you. why not have an open mind and maybe assume im not scottish and maybe im not actually in scotland playing my bagpipes in a kilt somewhere on the celtic shore. get real bruh. use a brain cell and google "no true scotsman logical fallacy" without quotes and imagine im making a rhetorical joke on the meaning of the statement "no true scotsman". think man. i am the true scotsman!!! you're an idiot!!
Unfortunately for the jackdaw, sparrow hawk's don't have very strong feet or beaks to finish the prey off fast. If the first strike doesn't kill the prey animal, they kill it by plucking it to death. The shock and blood loss eventually kills them, but by then the hawk will have already started eating them. Yes, alive.
It's both. It just depends who lands the better blow first. Check out the YT vid: "Original movie of Sparrowhawk vs The Jackdaw". It starts off almost exactly like this, but the raptor had it's claws in the neck instead of the head. After a long struggle on the ground the Jackdaw used its beak like daggers, ended up busting up the raptor instead. Since they're both roughly the same size, and the Jackdaw has its beak and aggression - they're a worthy opponent and a risk prey. Aweome to watch!
Wow, jackdaws are no joke. It coud have happened prior but did anyone notice the hawk was missing his left eye. It was probably crushed in a beak stab. This awesome footage.
@Holo Graphic Hey, dont say that so self righteously, how can you tell, im not good at determining sex like this and it would be super cool to know. Id love It if you'd enlighten me?
First of all I said pryor, so I have no clue whether or not the bird got injured during this fight but in a romantic sense I just mentioned it because It makes it seem all the more badass. Also the Hawk clearly has something wrong with it's eye.
yeah I was about to point out the same. A lot of usual hunting strats like long range sniping mice in the field will be much more difficult with only 2D-Vision.
I just got taken out by a sparrowhawk this morning while it was hunting a pigeon. It brushed it's wings past my shoulder and front, while the pigeon used me as a getaway moving object. Utter shambles it was! It was the best birding experience in a middle of my town in Kent
Not a Sparrow Hawk (American Kestrel) The smallest hawk, actually a falcon. Very Small. Male 4.1 oz!! and Female a little more than 5 oz. The Jackdaw opponent is a Sharp-shinned Hawk. Identified by the prominent orange striping across the breast, and the very long yellow legs. Many distinguishing differences between these hawks may be referenced at Cornell Lab, bird guide.
É lindo como Deus todo poderoso, no ápice de sua bondade e compaixão moldou a natureza de forma tão bela! Estou louvando-o contemplando sua obra retratada nessas cenas brutais de tortura de uma presa sendo comida viva. Lembrem-se, Deus é amor!
@@philipgundala5457 they can be nasty with their beak if they get the chance to. There's another video where one (or maybe it was a crow) manages to hammer it's beak at the sparrowhawk's head, dazing her, which gave her prey a chance to escape. But sparrowhawks have long legs to more easily get control over their prey while keeping the beak at a distance with such that they can wrestle it to the ground.
CerealKiller I saw that too - Sparrowhawks seem to be highly adept at overpowering those mid range birds like pigeons - it's a miracle if any small bird can escape once it's got them . . those claws really grab ! Flapping at them is futile . .
Me too, I will never let animals kill each other in front of me, even though I know its they nature, and they kill to survive, but I think that's very cruel to see they die right before your eyes and you're enjoying it looking at that poor bird dies, wishing you can help and save it life.
I know everyone's going to say it's nature and yes it is. The animals who kill others don't see what they are doing as evil even if we think they are. But it still don't mean we can't feel sad for the coveds or song birds when they get attacked. This is what makes us Human. I wanted the jackdaw to pull her leg off again like the last vid! I only found out about sparrow hawks last week, when I was watching 6 sparrows in my garden playing and having a dry bath as they shuffled in the soil but then from out of nowhere a big bird came down and had a sparrow under his talons... Looked around and then flew off with it. I had never seen anything like this before in real life and it left me shocked and confounded that something like this could happen in my back garden. So yes I know sparrow hawks have to feed their fledglings but I like sparrows so fuck the sparrow hawks! Jack daws for the win !
@@abdullahpwalrabudah735 Me too Basically it's a case of thinking that it would be jolly nice and terribly decent if the sparrowhawk could change it's habits. But oh well, perhaps not a reasonable expectation.
@Jarno. That is about as stupid as saying a human is stupid with an injured leg or arm or whatever?! Educate yourself or else you'll keep embarassing yourself with dumb comments!!!
Bigger European version of our Sharpshinned hawk. Interesting that Accipitors despite being bird eaters have never evolved the Falcon's method of severing the spinal cord in the neck asap.
@@valiapavlou Yes! The larger Cooper's hawk is very common in North America. The larger more powerful Goshawk is found on both NA and Europe and Asia, but is less common.
@Mookie Spindlehurst The word evolution was never even mentioned in this thread, but you were so quick to have a hissy fit rambling on about evolution that your comment looks like a jumbled mess. I'll but you wouldn't even know a sharp-shinned hawk from a pigeon!
Its nature. We shoul not interfere with nature Ever heard of ecosystem in animals? Food chains in animals? Thats what is happening here. Saving the crow will lead the crow to live a injured, disabled life. Plus the sparrow hawk would loose its prey aswell!...perhaps that hawk needs food for its chicks? Or to satisfy its hunger? They kill other animals to get food- just like we do too! But we have more humane twchnology to cull or kill an animal- because we have the smartest brains in history of animals. Other animals dont have this ability of thinking and follow the usual traditional hunting process
So people just want to film anything to get "likes". I am sure that if u see someone murdering someone else, you'll take out your phone like a hero and start filming. People are mindless. Obsessed with getting likes on superficial media. Sick society. .
mark galetti no a jackdaw is a Britain’s member of the crow family Americans wouldn’t know that they are not very big they travel in huge family groups
The moral of the story: don't eat animals, because animals are intelligent and would never considering eating another animal, nature is all sunshine happiness and rainbows
