last fight of the Jackdaw versus Sparrow-hawk

Epic fight of a Jackdaw versus Sparrowhawk

[@truescotsman4103]

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.

[@Beyond_Belief534]

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?

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.

Jackdaws can sometimes kill sparrowhawks too...occasionally the Jackdaw will just fight and get loose and smack the sparrow hawk in the face.

[@Stance1988]

Jackdaws, magpies, crows do the same to other baby birds, adult birds and mammals. Pretty much all birds are massive scumbags.

[@acrocanthosaurus4]

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.

[@ellobo1326]

The hawks left eye is obviously very damaged. Likely blind. Maybe that dictates choice of prey.

@@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.

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.
