Sparrowhawk gives wildlife rescuers a hard time!

Birds of prey are hard enough to catch, let alone when they are stuck in a very high warehouse!
Simon and Sean spent a couple of hours chasing a sparrowhawk, trying to corner it, so Sean, who was waiting in a very precarious position, could capture it.
Watch until the end for the blooper!

Sparrowhawk: "It's so cute how you humans are trying to catch from waaaaay down there!"

[@BeckyBandJesus]

The bird was totally trolling. "Heh heh heh, he can't catch me"

[@NeidalRuekk]

Sparrowhawks have a really intense glare about them, like they're just daring you to intrude on their personal space.

[@memichoo1921]

When I was small, I always thought that they were just always grumpy xD

[@TheHamadanners]

NomNomNinja lolz.

[@walterig33]

They kind of are.

[@ellemitchell5363]

Many pigeons and finches used to get stuck in my schools auditorium and they would fly around and poo on kids. It was a nightmare

[@zzzondawolf6717]

3llie n0rdquist a robin came into my music teachers lesson and hit I Him in the face... I guess he doesn't like music

[@danielwickham3439]

OMG same here the robin just flew in the door out of the blue but the weird thing is when we took him/her out of the classroom he/her just flew back in it was like he didnt want to go he just sat down on the floor kind of like he/she was just chilling like she didnt really care what was going on around him/her we decided to just leave it thier with the door open in the end after sitting on the floor for a while it got up and flew out like nothing happened :)

[@amcsihungarianbr0829]

3:56 the hawk was like WTF bro?! :"D

[@101publicenemy]

You all have my utmost respect! keep on keeping on!

[@nincigo9499]

"So far the sparrowhawk owes us 25 quid." 😂 I doubt you will have this debt repaid.

[@CRTukkerr]

Kudos to all animal rescuers.

[@pheonixfire9517]

Thank you xx

[@carlywang3136]

Thank you so much for risking your life for this bird :)))))

Sorry Simon but the moment the pole broke was comedy gold. Must have watched it 4/5 times trying to hear what you were saying over my laughter. A+ rescue, keep up the good work.

[@anonymouse6728]

Your sparrowhawk reminds me of the North American sharpshin hawk, another accipiter. Good advice to mind the feet, I have yet to meet an accipiter not capable of wreaking rapid havoc with those lightening fast talons (very talon-ted). Good work catching him, he had all the advantages and you had naught but determination and a net!

[@lynnetrathen4587]

I thought it would have been so funny if he flew back in 😂😂 nice job boys 🥰🥰

[@karlzone2]

You need some of those ninja shooting nets.

[@BeckyBandJesus]

Lol

[@yh2059376]

I love the crew! Rescue then check for injuries, well done! 😀👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾New subscriber

[@susannahayres-thomas7185]

The bird's perched up there, sneering at you. Has to have been aggravating as all get-out! Well done, fellas.

[@tarantulaguy1998]

Lol, this was like the Home Alone of your rescues. There's two people trying to catch something, constantly being outsmarted by it, trying to put stuff together to catch it only to fail doing so (when the pole broke), very interesting indeed!

[@darkknight7403]

i think that sparrowhawk was like haha you little ants cant catch me 😂😂

[@louisesassberntsen2195]

I ship Simon and Sean so much xD

[@bobstreet7950]

God bless you

[@cyates293]

You folks are heroes! Thank you so much for all your hard work.

[@Cinder508]

I am so happy that I found this web site. Good on ya Great Britain. I love these rescue stories. No animal was hurt during the making of this film.

[@zb7293]

Sparrowhawk, that entered in my dad's factory stayed there, until he got all pigeons. ..and after he left.

[@Oksimoron-zy9sk]

I Love animal😘♥

[@CarebearisaHomo85]

Awww he's cute

[@lilynorman2258]

Bravo guys! Lucky lil bird.

[@akiriwo8624]

Is it just me or did the Sparrowhawk just gave them the death stare one or more?? XD This is so entertaining and funny!

[@ceil5001]

I really dig the music....bird netting music

[@bryanlilly8876]

I have said it before, I will say it again. You guys rock.. :-)

[@surolan]

LOL I love the bloopers at the end of your videos - very funny :D

[@BeckyBandJesus]

You guys are so brave! Wonderful rescue as always

[@Leen-kf5iy]

I like how you guys have fun and laugh and rescue animals I would LOVE to work with u guys but I really get afraid of animals

[@ahhbster]

I have a a little hawk in my house and my brother have to chase it and catch and release. good thing he's have glove

[@kiwi_sodas]

They're so much smaller than I thought they would be! I thought they'd be giant.

[@iluvbaconOMG]

1:18 so funny!

[@Pe-S]

Very well done..!

[@hipocampelofantocame]

What a great show. Every view warms my cold Scotch heart.

[@tineyjesickahful]

Nice catch!

[@GShock112]

great job!

[@Zincink]

their arms must of been shot by the end of the day holding that pole

[@firedove7]

Hey Simon I wanted to join Wild Life Aid during the Summer when school break is on and I was wondering if to volunteer is only in UK or can someone from New York can as well.

[@theflowen7128]

great!!

[@marielenapotts848]

Because of the video's title, I'll call the bird of prey "Sans" :D

[@jaylinnharris8187]

Marielena Potts it would be better if it was "a bad time"😭😂😭

[@saiqazaid1658]

good

[@Luciano_mp]

bom trabalho..

[@warehog3000]

Uhg its always a warehouse isn't it. lol

[@birdblackbird4766]

i'll wonder for quite a while if anyone ever sent you the £25 that sparrowhawk owed you as a donation after seeing this video XD

[@TheDct88]

30m high? maybe 30ft either way great rescue

[@Fyralynn]

1m = 100cm. 1ft = 30cm.

[@TheDct88]

i know what a meter is

[@Fyralynn]

TheDct88 Then you should know that 30m is not 30ft.

[@TheDct88]

i know it isnt, i was saying they guy said the roof was 30m high and i said maybe 30ft but not 30m. 30ft is about 9 meters, how are you not understanding this?

[@redmouse1967]

It was a great reuse, as always. Doesn't really matter what the hight was, now does it?

[@Jerbod2]

Not sure if applicable to this case, but perhaps you should look into a laser... Near here some farmers use very strong laser lights to scare off animals, perhaps you can use those for some cases.

[@leviicrazed]

lasers..? even the low powered ones can easily damage something's vision

[@diegoandalexcockatiel7540]

4:08 I believe i can fly!

Could someone tell me the name of the "fast forwarding" soundtrack please, by the way?

[@weslake1330]

What's the music?

[@sandy764]

beautiful bird i really love what you do for them :) do you rescue dolphins from captivity parks also?...

[@wildlifeaid]

piu piu We only deal with British wildlife - being based in Leatherhead, Surrey, our catchment area is SE England. If you know of any dolphins in trouble, please contact Born Free: www.bornfree.org.uk/

[@sandy764]

Wildlife Aid oh thanks all dolphins in captivity are in trouble you know that i guess

[@wildlifeaid]

piu piu Totally agree :'( So sad :(

[@sandy764]

i went to a park they are real sad you can feel it when the orca screams. Dolphins had rake marks and they look so sensitive :'''( one was staring at me but i did not understand why he or she looked frail... Fortunately the dolphin project and peta are helping a lot those days. I feel guilty now i know the truth to have stepped into it.they are angels of the sea. thanks for your answer and the link. it is very kind of you :)

[@wildlifeaid]

Thank you too piu piu the more people that become aware of the cruelty, the less will go to parks that keep captive animals. Spread the word. We will win this fight one day x

[@Joel66004]

Haha

[@burst.7227]

Someone please tell me Music at 2:01? Please?

[@Janseli24]

3:00 "just look at it"

[@MissMaggie246]

Is the nurse Simons daughter, making Shawn his son in law?

[@wildlifeaid]

Lucy and Simon are not related!

[@MSadamgasm]

@0:40 i hear ed sheeran playing in the background XD

[@Pumanic]

Why didn't they just shut all the lights off and leave the doors/windows open? Animals seek out light sources when they want to get out.

[@manglethefox9946]

We're r u from

[@EldritchTeacup]

Silly SparrowHawk. There is no food in warehouses. Well. actually maybe if it stores food I guess...

[@wildlifeaid]

Eldritch Teacup He probably accidentally flew in whilst chasing another bird, and he then couldn't find the way back out again. Eating the other bird would have kept him going for a while, but not much longer, had we not rescued him :)

[@EldritchTeacup]

Thank goodness you guys were there regardless! Hopefully he'll be more wary of chasing pigeons through big doors and you guys won't see him again.

[@sergejnadazdin2234]

how much does a gopro cost?

[@wildlifeaid]

+Sergej Nadaždin Around £250-£300 here in the UK :)

[@sergejnadazdin2234]

+Wildlife Aid i found a kind of an gopro for around 30 dollars(25 euro)here in serbia

[@DrumToTheBassWoop]

Simon you should really get into investing in a net gun which i would be happy to donate to. Surely that would make things easier for everyone ? :S

[@DebCnbfre]

Why not just turn out all the lights and open doors.. Have had to do this in my house with birds, they fly towards the light and out the doors usually!! :) Then again, that place was pretty bight in there, even without lights.. lol

[@wildlifeaid]

Beautiful Morning Birds of prey always tend to fly upwards, so they don't have the reflexes to fly down towards a door.

[@loganhensley4748]

Everyones always so heavy breathed, I know its intents but .. well they are high up in altitude.

[@mono14]

if thats 30m then im king donger

[@SternenruferinPatchouli1]

and his name was Jack Sparrow?

[@cherrydreamblastartsandrea4507]

He was laughing at you I bet

[@TheHamadanners]

you guys really need a hawk trap. i can send you one. free of charge.

[@Charliehawkscreech]

Wouldn't it have been easier to bait it into a cage somehow?

[@wildlifeaid]

+Charliehawkscreech They wouldn't eat in such a situation, because they are very stressed. Once up high, its usually impossible to make them fly low and out of a door.

[@racheltan416]

+Wildlife Aid lol if i were you, within 5 minutes i still can' t catches the bird, i would say ," whatever. I' m out " lol

[@racheltan416]

+rachel tan or 2 minutes

[@ThatWeirdDude40]

From afar, it looks like a female sparrowhawk, but also one of the natives to northern- and middle-europe, even though at first I thought it would be one of the sparrowhawks natives to the baltic countries down to greece. But this one looks pretty fine, even though a little ruffled from the fight she gave to you. I think it will have a nice fat pidgeon on it's prey-list, after what happened.

[@animallover4071]

First

[@terhhh87]

I wonder if a paintball gun would have done the trick. Not shooting at the bird but close to it whit the pressure turned down.

[@eduardosaldivar1937]

Sucks

[@eduardosaldivar1937]

Sucks
