[@Heaven-dy9lj]

Beautiful, the Sparrowhawk's not too bad either.

[@lfcbradley1]

i had one of these poor things fly into my window a while back, i didnt know it was a sparrowhawk until i looked it up. thankfully it came around and managed to fly away safely

[@74aamer]

Look how alert Lucy is gorgeous

[@captainibeke]

wow very nice, just what i was looking for i saw a sparrowhawk one faithful morning walking around our compound, it had flight problem because it hit its wing at the wall due to the speed it used to attack a prey so i was able to capture it.THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO REALLY HELPED.

[@andrewgreenwood2884]

Hi.. How can we stop these birds from using our garden as a free take away, what can we do if anything?

[@michaelmcguinness4108]

Was the bird taken from the wild or was she breed in captivity

[@vichope6408]

Hi miss, i have one sparrow hawk her eye is red. Do you think its adult or young?

[@KhawarAliKhaur2156]

Good job and nice sparrowhawk ❤️

[@410142109]

Dear feathers & fur ,i have a female sparrowhawk that has chosen a high tree stump on a tree at my back neighbours garden to devour her catch ,will she return on a regular basis if she feels comfortable there ?,today she was mobbed by three magpie`s trying to take a few snippets and flew away.

[@falconrydude1552]

Hi! How much food should i give to a sparrowhawk each time it jumps to the fist? Amazing video!

[@Stuffed007]

Amazing colors on her 😍 I would love to photograph her..

[@JohnSims3]

Very nice! I trapped a female Red Tail on the last day. Had her for a faithful 13 years. Awesome!

[@shaheenfalcon122]

Good job 👏

[@filipmihailovic6578]

Hi. How heavy is your bird?

[@ywassilie]

I really love your accent 😍 😊

[@jasonsmith5688]

She’s beautiful

[@avtoban27]

Very good video

[@papaclank]

Love your spar vids , she’s a beaut Worked in a falconry center trained Harris ,, goshawk and small owls would love a spar some day , definately my favourite hawk

[@nikosatun4532]

Hi, what's the price of female sparrowhawk aproximately? I trained only goshawks, but I'm very interested of sparrowhawk. Thanks and have good time!

[@benjaminphilpot4262]

These birds are killing machines I saw one devour a pigeon it was quite a sight it 2 ft away from me drinking coffee and could care less about me being near it

[@michaelmcguinness4108]

Birds of prey are so beautiful but they are so majestic in the wild. I understand raptors that can no longer live wild because off injury and need to be looked after by humans but for sport or as pets im not so sure.

[@billygrey9235]

How do you gender a eyas sparrowhawk

[@curleyteeth]

I have now become a bit of an expert at spotting Sparrowhawks (purely by luck I must add) having seen many of them in all their actions.They are elusive and can best be seen in the air gliding liks small Buzzards probably eying up prey.T o see one strike is usually just a case of being in the right place at the moment.Jim.

[@lucabee968]

You're really good, congratulations

[@74aamer]

Beautiful hawk so the female ones are the best hunters going for pigeons etc

[@RC-Heli835]

Has this bird made any captures yet? Do you plan to let the Sparrow hawk go? We havent had any luck turning hand raised Sqirrels loose. So the last few litters we've had we have turned them over to an animal rehabilitation facility where they have lots of land Our streets and many cats are Squirrel killers for sure. I believe 3 of our Squirrels were killed on the street and know for sure that one was killed by one of our cats. That one simply didn't have fear of anything. All it knew was our love. It would follow me back to the door when I took it outside.

[@johnseabrook1703]

Many a pigeon been taken by our local sparrow hawk.

[@dongweizhao5621]

Thank you

[@manofculture467]

Thanks I can't wait to get my bird

[@melo7591]

Very nice

[@moutasimahmad5840]

plz post more about her training

[@tariqaziz5662]

Hello, how much food sparrowhawk need in a day????

[@FeathersandFurFalconryCentre]

Tariq Aziz that's determined by your training and food type. If this is your first bird I would seriously reconsider, spars are NOT a beginners bird. If you mess up just ones days feed your bird could fit and die. Do you have help or a mentor?

[@tariqaziz5662]

@@FeathersandFurFalconryCentre hello i am new, and i don't like kestrel or hobby falcon ... yes but i like peregrine and in beginning i start with sparrowhawk she is with me from last two week about ....

[@dollythapa724]

.good job

[@christophnachname3223]

I think she weighs a little bit too much thats why she comes on the glove so slowly, the condition and weight is essential for sparrowhawks and thats why there so hard to train

[@christophnachname3223]

Oops just saw you say that a few minutes later my bad

[@TariqAli-kr4vw]

A good sparrowhawk unfortunately mine one died yesterday

[@tadjeddineamraoui8299]

[@johnstockburn6396]

Stupid person , you have disabled the bird for 12 months

[@lorrainegreen6016]

Had one nearly kill a starling in my garden this morning see the whole thing starling escaped with life

[@mikenorledge4110]

why does the female sparrow-hawk need you unless you are carrying out a breeding programme to propagate their genus? .. if you must interfere with nature please at least do something useful and train Lucy to kill the invasive annoying pest species Collared Dove and not our indigenous Blue and Long-tailed tit, which she does by nature .. if you are able to chat "hawk" then could you please somehow relate to Lucy that there is loads more meat on a Collared Dove (expanding exponentially in numbers) than there is on a House Sparrow or a Blue Tit (both declining dramatically in numbers in the UK)

[@FeathersandFurFalconryCentre]

Mike Norledge we might not be able to ‘chat’ Hawk (although that would be very useful in many many ways) but Lucy does help us educate the many people that don’t even know they have this amazing predatory bird right on their door step. Interestingly I read an article about the blue tit I think in a woodland being surveyed at the time of DDT and the numbers proved that although yes spars do like the easy kills it’s disappearance did not equal a massive increase in song bird population. I will rack my brain to find the link or where I read it.

[@rookiefishing9753]

Game keepers are our british birds worse nightmare, introducing phesants and killing raptors. P.S I live in the forest of bowland in the woods, I get great, coal, blue and longtail tits at my birdhouse all at the same time joined by woodpeppers, blackbirds, house sparows, nuthatch, robims, yellow wagtails, and lots more, but no doves.

[@NAVYABHAN]

Isn’t it a bit self serving trying to place anthropomorphic attributes to Mother Nature?
