Even Eagles Are Afraid of This Deadly Bird

[@leonid4468]

I once saw a duck hawk (peregrine falcon) stuck in our barn/garage. It was a juvenile, flying into a window inside again and again, trying to get out. Not sure how it got in there. I grabbed a towel to protect my arms and hands (knowing it was no protection at all if the bird wished to claw me), and walked towards it, and gently grabbed it. It immediately calmed as it knew I meant it no harm as I talked calmly to it. Held it for a few moments, calming it further, as I walked it towards the door of the barn. I opened up the towel, let it sit on my arm, and it sat there a brief moment, perhaps a second or two, spread its wings, and looked me in the eye as if to say "thanks, i needed that", then jumped into flight so quickly, it was astonishing....and just like that, it was gone. And despite what this animal was capable of, not one scratch on me at all.

I witnessed a peregrine falcon doing barrel rolls, 1st and only time I saw one, can’t remember why they barrel roll now but I googled it at the time and it means something

[@khorihorton5207]

Used to do training downtown Calgary (where this species was repopulated when it almost became extinct) due to how they were able to form a symbiotic relationship with skyscrapers and even with the pollution seem to thrive here. While I did training where our smoking area was must have been beneath a aerie nest cause almost daily we would be sitting there and “smack” magpies and pigeons would smash into the concrete beside us only to look up and barely see the blur of the bird diving at 200 mph come to an abrupt stop on the prey break its neck to assure its dead dead and fly back up. Quite an impressive site to see and the bird is basically the same size as a pigeon.

We had a barred owl (Cicero) when I was a kid, he slept in the barn and would come down when we called or when we had food for him. He never left because he was blind in one eye and one of his wings was damaged due to a car accident, so after we came back from the vet he lived in the barn and stayed there for safety. He also helped us by eating any rats that tried to live in the barn too.

I've been in the avian field for nearly 35yrs now. Having "hands on" experience with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey. And some folks were correct in saying this CLEARLY did not go into which bird Eagles are afraid of. And that's probably because their really aren't any. They sit at the very top of the avian predator chain so too speak. And while they might get mobbed by smaller birds. They certainly aren't afraid of them. When you have Martial Eagles taking down big prey like monkeys etc...And Golden Eagles taking down anything from coyotes to antelopes. Their isn't much these birds need to be afraid of sitting as high up as they do in the pecking order.

[@larrym2434]

Great Horned Owl will attack a Bald Eagle's nest. These two species compete for the same prey, and they do not get along at all.

[@larrym2434]

Also, I have watched Peregrine falcons defend their nesting territory on bluffs overlooking the Mississippi river. The Peregrines mercilessly dive bombed Bald Eagles passing by, and the eagles' best defense was to get the heck out of there.

[@WldLifePicTkr]

@@larrym2434 - 100% agree. I photograph BEagles at a large dam in NE MD & have Seen Peregrines attack from above & down on a BEagle that it felt was flying too close to it's nest. They appear w/the naked eye from a distance to be the size of a Crow, but are Very aggressive, Unbelievably Fast, and show no fear to a dangerous predator nearly 10 times it's size. The BEagles many times do not hear them coming & instantly fly Inverted w/talons up to defend themselves when surprised by them. This is what I THOUGHT this video would Eventually get to, but never did

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

I saw a raven stealing food from a bald eagle, and getting away with it too... So while eagles may be on the top of the Avian predator chain, that doesn't mean smaller birds are necessarily afraid of them.

It is also interesting to note that even though they are trained by man to perform this function they are only kept in service for a handful of years and then released to the wild as part of a respectful tradition the tribesmen have for these beautiful creatures.

I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." 2 Esdras 2:31 ,,,,

The berkut eagle is a central Asian sub-species of the golden eagle.

[@illusorytrutheffect]

Was it primal survivor you watched? I learned the same thing from one of the episodes. They used golden eagles to hunt wolves and coyotes. They used the birds so the pelts wouldn’t be damaged since they needed them for clothing to stay warm. They practiced the same methods and traditions. They released them so they could breed and keep populations up.

[@albertdittel8898]

Well, I am from Kazakhstan, i.e. from exactly the place of the tradition you are talking about (since in Mongolia it's ethnic Kazakhs who hunt with eagles, not the Mongolians). Moreover, my father trains golden eagles and has learned it from a Kazakh Berkuchi (eagle hunter). Now, here's some uncomfortable truth for you: most of what you saw and what you believe is BS and pretending. The eagles are 1. generally not used to hunt wolves, but to hunt foxes (and other smaller animals). The wolf-thing is just a big bragging and showing off. Golden eagles are generally not strong enough to hunt and kill adult wolves, I tell you more: they are generally not even strong enough to kill foxes, they are used to catch and hold the fox until the hunter comes and kills the fox with his "dagger" (btw. all of you just go and look up the body masses of animals (like golden eagles and wolves) on wikipedia apart from only watching hype videos: a lot of BS myths will be debunked right away). 2. Even if hunting with eagles would been used to hunt wolves (which it isn't), the idea of protecting livestock against predators by using eagles is unbelievable BS if you know anything about the stuff involved (wolf attacks, livestock husbandry and eagle-hunting). It would take too long to explain, but let's just say that how every part of it works makes the idea ridiculous. 3. Although it is true that the eagles often are released after some years (more typically is that they would escape themselves before that), the "respect for nature by noble savages" stuff, that romanticism is the imagination of modern (mostly Western) people. Most Kazakhs treat their birds (as they treat most of their animals) pretty brutally and not respectful at all (at least not in the way Western people imagine it). So here you go, I hope you aren't too sad learning the truth about life.

@@illusorytrutheffect I just found the link because I sent it to a friend of mine traveling to that part of the world some years ago. (I'm pretty good about keeping archived emails) anyhow I just clicked on it and sadly it looks like they took it down-- here's a copy of the link, maybe you would have better luck from your browser. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6jap4OChdOnkM0 Again it was narrated in German and it opened with a fox strike by a Berkut and then went into an incredible wolf kill that involved two Berkut Eagles one flipped the wolf on its back and tied up its hind legs with its Talons while the other one struck in the throat and face. It was almost eerie to see the wolf running and looking up into the sky and knowing it's fate that was descending upon it. A wild adult wolf fighting for its life is nothing to be trifled with however its tail was between its legs and the wolf clearly knew it was outmatched. These birds are all business.

[@trig1900]

The segment on magpies [9:19]; you've actually shown 2 types of bird. One is the actual magpie [Gymnorhina tibicen], related to crows and is a bigger bird than the second, which is the pied butcher bird [genus Melloria]. It looks like a magpie in coloration but it is actually a song bird and can be differentiated from the magpie visually by it's being a smaller bird and has a different, shorter beak [shown at 9:45]. It's the magpies which are extremely territorial in nesting season [spring, southern hemisphere] September to November. By contrast, the butcher bird is very competitive during this time and will attack reflections on itself in mirrors, shiny hubcaps and windows, which I have seen them do to the extent of even injuring themselves in their efforts.

Have the idolaters not seen the birds that are subdued and designed to fly in the air because of the wings that Allah granted them along with the lighteness and delicate nature of the air? He inspired them to close and open their wings. No one keeps them from falling in the air except Allah, the Powerful.

I'm surprised that the Peregrine Falcon wasn't even mentioned (unless I fell asleep for a quick nap). However, the Falcon is one bad-azz bird of prey, even though they are smaller. Their speed and agility through tight spaces at high speed are incredible. Case in point, I was walking down my 2nd story apartment to go to my garage and I heard a loud thump, like a baseball bat hitting the wall next to me. I turned and looked and saw a Falcon breaking the neck of a pigeon on the ground just 6 feet from me. Funny though, when the Falcon saw me, he/she was as surprised as I was and took off to another building's balcony as I walked towards it's kill. He/she just looked at me while I investigated the pigeon. The pigeon was done for, so I walked away. As I was driving past the kill zone, the pigeon was gone as well as the Falcon, which I presume he/she took the pigeon away for dinner. I wish I had a video of the whole thing, but it was unexpected at best. Falcons are incredible!

I once had the awesome privilege of holding a golden eagle in my hands when I worked in the birds of prey section of a zoo. I held its legs and the eagle's back against my chest while the chief handler coped her beak. I was apprehensive all the time, feeling the power of her legs and gazing at her formidable claws while my supervisor treated her. It took nearly all my arm strength to hold her safely. She was Kergus, the bird that used to star in the Pan American commercials decades ago. People think it was a Bald Eagle but not, it was a Golden Eagle.

Great video. People who refer to others that they think are a bit dumb as bird brains obviously don't know much about birds.

It hung around my campsite for about 2 hours, and being alone, I enjoyed talking to it and hearing him talk back with its "Whoo-whoo" sounds. Personally, I feel the Golden Eagle is one of the most awesome and majestic creatures, but the Snowy Owl is the most gorgeous, at least of this particular grouping. Hey I see my brother in this video...no wait, that's a different kind of vulture. Thank you, 4 Ever Green! Keep the interesting and inculcating content coming.

Back then there used to bells in small villages in the Philippines. When a Phil eagle is sighted, they would ring the bell to get the kids inside the house. There's cases of kids taken. These apex predators evolved to have white feathers underwing so almost impossible to see in flight. They're amazing in open skies but deadly in forests bec of their maneuverability, they have the largest wing surface area for raptors. Very endangered bec of deforestation, human encroachment of their hunting ground.

The Wedge-Tailed Eagle is Australian, and known to kill sheep and take sheep, dogs, kangaroos - anything short of a cow. They absolutely dwarf the Bald Eagle and are a real delight to see in the wild. We have them all over where I live in rural Western Australia.

[@albertdittel8898]

Why is everyone spewing BS on such videos? No, the wedge-tailed eagle doesn't "absolutely dwarf" the bald eagle (just look up Wikipedia for once) and if it takes the animals you mentioned, at best it can successfully hunt small and unimpressive versions of any of them. So it's not "anything short of a cow", but "something short of a cow", i.e. something being the thing that is short of both a cow and a small, skinny and ill sheep.

Not trying to be a douche, But I am a biologist, and did an internship at the "Peregrine fund/world center for birds of prey". Got to work with a lot of really cool birds. They were working Aplmado falcons When I was there Back in my college years. world center for birds Was the opportunity of a lifetime because it's not too far down the road from where I grew up and still live and it's right here in Boise Idaho, but it's the opportunity to study biology. That's what i love. The Peregrine fund center for birds of prey is the reason the California Condor came back it's the main reason the Harpy eagle came back. Our center is the reason they have enough genetic diversity for the Harpys' to be sustained. Not a lot of people know but that bird literally owes its existence to this place. They were critically endangered. Now they have a center down in Panama. So they are doing the breeding program For the harpy at " Peregrine fund Panama " . It's also Saved other species from That's an amazing place. Hit me up if you ever want any info Of ornithology Ectheology was my main study but I love birds And I work with some amazing species. So I would just say the California Condor does not go South of Mexico or North of Arizona California area little bit of Southern Utah. The big bird you saw on the back of the Steer or bull Was an Andean Condor. They have the longest wingspan of any bird, And are not found outside of The central part of South America and primarily on the West Coast in Chile And Argentina... And Check out the Batelure eagle of Central Africa. They are amazing birds. they change the color of their feet and face depending on the mood. And beautiful birds. Very territorial and very Loud birds.. I used to work with them and harpy eagles as well as California condors at " The Peregrin fund". You should See a Harpy eagle grab a rabbit off of its feeding platform and crush it's skull... "Mona" the Harpy i took care of used to grab her rabbit Put her head down so she could look at me through the slots of the feeding door And with a closed fist holding the rabbit gripping it she would pull her leg up and slam it down like she was punching the ground... She wanted to let me know that was hers and come try to take it at your own risk... Harpy eagles are one of the most amazing birds or animals I have ever been able to be a part of.... The philippine eagle is also a bad-ass one they are the biggest. Well there's kind of a debate on that but the stellars is one of the biggest as well. Cheers.
