Never understood owners like this, you see a big ass bird coming to pick up your dog and instead of dropping on the phone to save it you film and stand there “come here boy,” Had that been my dog I would’ve thrown my phone at the bird and ran jumping over my dog to cover it then picking it up and my phone leaving, There’s no reason to ever stand there filming while you or your pet is in danger

[@scottpeters4360]

Same here..

[@Jason__0336]

You would have missed. Broke your phone. Realized the Hawk couldn't pick the dog up because the dog is too big and now you just have a broken phone lol.

[@bornaasi8734]

@@Jason__0336 what type of knockoff phone are you using? A IPhone with a case isn’t going to break by being thrown at grass, And the hawk could most definitely seriously injure the dog. It would have been able to lift it up and if it decided it was too heavy, drop it from 20 feet in the air. Those claws alone could make the dog bleed out if it grabbed him. So no, you’re wrong

Ohh man🤦‍♂️ I kept yelling at this lady at the park "theres a Hawk in the Tree eyeballing your Chihuahua".... She snarfed at me 😡 & here came the Hawk🐕🦅 swooshing in. Lucky she had the leash on him (but wasn't holdin it).... I ran & had to dive to get that leash. When I did that, the bird got scared & let him go. "So so Lucky".... Thank God it was just minor injuries. Do you know she had the nerve to yell at me and say why didn't I say something sooner..... UNGRATEFUL

No way could that hawk have picked up that dog and carried it away. When it closed in it realized the dog was too large to tackle and veered off. Would have been interesting to see the result if it had tried though.

[@conorsirishnature998]

It was a young red tailed hawk based on the colors it was probably just inexperienced. Even adult hawks could only take the smallest dogs like chihuahuas

[@Free_Snooki]

Maybe not pick up, but it could definitely destroy it. I just saw a video of a golden eagle demolishing a wolf.

[@conorsirishnature998]

@@Free_Snooki golden eagles are absolute units. A red tailed hawk has tiny feet in relation to its size going on raptor standards. They aren't made to kill large prey. A golden eagle has massive feet and talons well suited for larger prey. Even a yorkie worth it's skin would destroy a hawk if it tried to grab it.

Never had a problem, they come around for wild birds and animals but between my huge rooster and Guinea fowls they were pretty safe. The rooster was an araucuna and not supposed to be so big, the hens weren't very big, but he grew larger than my Jersey Giants. He got along with the Guinea, they would sound the alarm and he'd come running.

A 1.5kg red tailed hawk could never carry anything above its own weight let alone a mid sized dog. They are built differently than large eagles which can carry prey equal to their weight and heavier.

[@judgejudy3035]

I thought the same. It has happened with dogs up to 20 lbs and attempted with larger

[@tylanguevara4440]

Really because I have a 20-22 pound dog and a vulture with a red head as brown feathers tried to get her today so it wouldn’t be able to get her?

[@tylanguevara4440]

Also my dog is still really really small for her bread but her weight is fine she’s only 8 months one

[@suchomimustenerensis5302]

@@tylanguevara4440 If you live in the US, the only vulture that fits that description would be the turkey vulture. You have no need to be worried. They don't hunt and only consume carrion. Their talons are weak and unable to grasp anything. I'm not sure why it swooped your dog, but do be wary of other potential predators.

[@chuckr1951]

Eagles have the same constraints. From a dead stop, an eagle can carry about half its weight. A big female Golden Eagle is about fourteen pounds. On KZbin, a rehabber took a video of a golden eagle with a big crop. The eagle couldn't fly out of the brush it was running around in. The rehabber kept the bird overnight and released in the morning.

If that hawk really wanted your dog it would already have it (but not fly away with the dog). It looked like it was trying to scare the dog away because it's too close to its territory/nest

[@katpiotrowski8078]

There is absolutely no way that hawk could have picked up that dog. I don't believe it was even trying to. It looks like it was swooping down, as a threat to get it away. Please do not set the tone for others to think all hawks can carry away a dog. Our neighborhood is in an uproar over one tiny red shouldered hawk...thinking it is going to attack their pet. The hawk is in an area where there is plenty of natural food and is in no way in danger of starving. Only then would a hawk MAYBE attack a small dog but highly doubtful. Most hawks do not want to risk being injured for a meal. I feed the red shouldered hawk rats that are 6 oz THAT IS A BIG RAT and it can barely fly away.

IMHO - That means the Hawk population is doing great - maybe doing too great because hawks are territorial; consequently the hawks that are in big populated cities are there by choice or got push out of the wide open country by other hawks! Hawks are welcome to diet on the rats and only if they stay away from pets! That is my humble opinion.
