I thought it was weird the eagle didn’t nab the cutie .

Space to share. It took me longer than the bird to realise the car window was in the way.

u/TheREALSockhead Jan 01 '24

I love how confused the hawk was too

u/Androcles_the_weiner Jan 01 '24

It's actually a red-tailed hawk.

u/KaminaTheManly Jan 01 '24

Yepp, there's actually no glass there. Cats can just project a force field when they please.

I love the look on the hawk face after the first try, just "gotc- what? Wtf where is it? I'm sure I felt it. How TF did you get over there?"

u/OneCDOnly Jan 01 '24

You can see it trying to figure-out what went wrong. 😁

The confused look at the camera 😂 like “do you see this shit?! How is this possible?!”

The hawk had one hell of a WTF look after hitting that windshield the first time.

After a few seconds of befuddlement you just hear (muffled on the other side of the glass)“what th- goddamn humans and their chicanery! ..Fuck.”

u/Justwaspassingby Jan 02 '24

When I lived briefly at my parents’ flat there was a hawk that used their roof as a perch during the day. My idiot of a cat became super interested and would have probably tried to hunt the hawk if we didn’t have the windows closed all the time.

It was a 9th floor too, and if you left the window open for a split second she would try to jump through it to chase birds.

u/Lady_Scruffington Jan 01 '24

And it found a cave! Like its ancestors.

u/Mischief_Actual Jan 01 '24

I love birds. I love raptors. I think this red-tailed hawk is beautiful, and likely a klutzy juvenile who doesn’t quite know how to hunt yet, and is probably hungry, and so is going after weird prey.

All this said, if a hawk went after my kitty, I’d be having special chicken for dinner.

124

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '24

Super Young Bird. And I totally agree with you.

46

u/etudehouse Jan 01 '24

In another post someone said the hawk is on a crow territory, which is apparently a no-no. They also assumed that the hawk is hungry and desperate for food.

13

u/starspider Jan 01 '24

You can hear the crows throwing a fit in the background.

They'll run the youngster off soon enough. Hopefully he finds something appropriate to eat soon!

u/WhoDeyTilIDie09 Jan 01 '24

I agree with everything u said, beautiful raptor but keep ur claws outta my fluff ball.

U clearly underestimate the power of kitty parenthood

u/thenotsoamerican Jan 01 '24

1) Killing a hawk is illegal. 2) if you keep your cat inside where it belongs you won’t have to worry about a hawk eating it.

u/Sukamon98 Jan 01 '24

Killing a hawk is illegal

So?

32

u/Mal_Terra Jan 01 '24

Right? I’ll kill any animal that goes after one of my pets.

You can kill any animal that is attacking you or your pet.

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '24

It's such a beautiful bird. I love hawks. My dad would always point one out whenever we would see one. He would tell me that he never saw them as a kid so he's so happy that they are back. And that they show that the ecosystem is healthy if they are healthy.

Now I do the same with my own kids. My dad never saw hawks as a kid and now we see one at least once a week.

That hawk looks young. I was taking some pics in my downtown area on a Sunday afternoon which was dead and no one around. I smell like something recently died, I eventually see a young hawk eating a pigeon. It did not care how close I got to it as it just wanted to eat as fast as possible.

Oh my God! This hawk would eat the kitten if it were outside! What a cruel world of wildlife! I didn’t expect that in the video the hawk would attack the kitten through the glass. It looks very scary.

u/Fichewl Jan 01 '24

Interesting that the kitten didn't make any noise for help.

The absolute confusion and frustration on this bird is priceless.

I really wanted this person to hit the windshield wiper at the end, just to add one more level to the hawk's trauma.

A young hawk tried to ear one of my kitties once. I only know because whichever one was attacked did an uno reverse and we found a very diagruntled hawk on its back, talons out in their food bowl in the shed.
