This reminded me of the story of Bakari Henderson. His White friends watch him get killed by Serbians. Useless.

@@captauron4514 well, Americans really shouldn't travel outside USA borders, because nobody likes them very much.

@@grunfalan It's only when the nobodys cry for help and Americans rush to their aid that the nobodys appreciate Americans. But Americans are weary of doing that and would just assume the nobodys take care of themselves and quit their whining.

​@@rb1179 in reality, Americans never do that. They intervene only because of their interests (plundering), though it is usually wrapped into some "humanitarian" pretext. Then again, I know that American folks doesn't have much to say about anything, and that they are only unfortunate victims of their greedy elites, and the system. But you also can't blame average people around the world for not recognizing such details and therefore hating and despising Americans as a whole.

@@grunfalan WW1 and 2?

Yeah, he says " say your Vespers boyo"...

There even silly enough to try take hawk chicks from their nests then wonder why they end up as a pile of blooded bones and feathers

@@darylkemp1257 who cares about hawk chicks

I saw a group of crows kill a baby robin as the robin parents could only fly around and do nothing. They didn't even eat it after killing it, just killed it to b assholes.

I said the same thing. Well, almost. I was thinking the hawk looks like a first year on his own type.

@@markuse3472 ....if he's a young hawk then it just goes to show how strong those talons are, that crow wasn't going anywhere. And plus it's a good confidence builder for that young hunter, he needs that in the wild.

Definitely a young hawk. Their tails turn red their second year, and this one's is still brown.

I don't see any "inexperience" there. That behavior is mostly innate anyway. For the hawk, as for any other bird of prey, it's "safety first" at the workplace, which does not mean to kill quickly but to keep the prey item at bay in such a manner that it can't do any harm, no matter how slow the death. With a crow, the most dangerous weapon is the bill and certainly not the feet (or wings). Hence the hawk goes for the throat/head and waits for the crow to lose strength so it can be safely plucked and eaten. If the hawk tried to begin sooner, it would risk losing balance and in the process losing its grip on the one weapon the crow has.

@Carlos Sotolongo I would deck you irl if I saw you shoot a hawk with an air rifle.

Nice story 👍.

Yeah love em helicopters 😂

You mean like "Do you have any final words?"

true I just saw 2 crows send away a red tailed hawk today. seems like the hawk didnt care to fight back. maybe it had just eaten a crow...

@Shay Ogun And crows are flying rats. They have it coming. Especially when they go out of their way to dive bomb a hawk that’s not even looking their way. #YesAllCrows #ToxicCrowsculinity

@Shay Ogun So I’m not being entirely, like, dead serious. I am aware crows are very intelligent. Rats are also decently/relatively intelligent. It’s not a completely un-apt comparison. But even then, there are a lot more crows than hawks, so just in terms of raw value based on scarcity and federal protection? The hawk wins. Immature...goodness...look I know it’s become the standard practice to treat everything like real life online, but I still remember when that was far from the default, and I still kinda operate that way, so... I guess I’m sorry for assuming that there was some mutual facetiousness going on. I like havin’ a giggle being flippant online after work sometimes, sue me.

Party almsivi has admitted to wanting to have fun online and according to the rules of the internet everyone should boo him

bs hawks always bullying...they even try to kills cats and dogs. I hate hawks.

Hardly helping, they were no where near the hawk. If they had struck the hawk he might have let go but not for some squawking.

Hawks prey on crows. A big hawk would annihilate a crow in a second. This is a baby hawk

Yeah we usually don't see this in central park.

Too small to be a red tailed hawk. Possibly a Cooper’s hawk.

Nope, its definitely a Red Tailed Hawk, and a juvenile to be exact! Its got brown-striped tail feathers. A Cooper's Hawk only has grey striped feathers, and they aren't vertical stripes like this hawk has!

Well red tail hawks are a pest to crows habitat when it comes to nesting. They are rivals. Crows usually provoke red tails around nesting/mating time if they spot them too close to home. Even though 9/10 they are walking away dead. Unless more hang on a red tail and he surrenders, flying away.

Yes, but a Chanting Goshawk does occasionally go for crows, with ease.

That or a stray cat

They were a pair of red tail hawks today being harassed by crows in my neighbors yard. The red tailed hawk‘s were making cries very loudly for about 15 minutes and one of the red tailed hawks flew away with something in his talons with the crows following. Do you think the crows were hurting the Hawk? Or were the Hawks vocalizing to protect themselves? The other hawk stayed so maybe they have a nest. The tree is very tall.

Sorry,but you are incorrect. The crows only dive etc. No crow will openly stand and fight a red tail.

Not

mictwisted65 is right - crows dive bomb predators and ravens shew them away. You were too close!

@@theconspiracyfactorist.144 do you observe them long enough to conclude it that way? Because I've seen something disproving your statement. They will try to peck it, pull for the tail, circle around it to make it anxious. And believe me that works just fine against such predators. Well, not trying to grind an axe here, but not helping a crow which is culturally closer to a human, and even observing its demise just for content is fucked up thing according to my moral. But whatever

@@iz5808 It's called nature,which we fuck with at our peril. Falconer for thirty years and still hunting today.

Simple answer, like all mob attackers, they are just not that brave.

True. Crows and Red tails are natural rivals/enemies though. This is common, just rare to spot in most cases. In some cases, Red tails sometimes kills crows to send a message to other cries nearby, not to eat. They prefer to eat their young. But when crows actually hang up on one red tail, the red tail surrenders.

@@princeel7221 We don't have red tailed hawks in England UK .Just sparrowhawks etc .

@@mercedesclk320 you should take a look in Bucks, and Northhants. The skies are full of them👍

These are natural rivals. But it takes more than one crow to take a red tail down. Crows work like herds, so red tails usually kills one to send messages to other nearby crows. Crows fear a one on one fight, or a red tail that’s very savage lol. Crows act aggressive to red tails in most cases, because they protect their young. As red tails prefer the eggs or baby birds than an adult crow. As it’s an easier meal. That’s why crows go crazy when they see a red tail.

Once you take nuptials the taste becomes acquired.

I thought people were the Only ones "To have to eat CROW" (old saying)

Sociopath

They are actually big fraidy cats❗ they will clamour and scream; but will not attempt a rescue❗

No, it’s just predator and prey. Animals have no spirit - only humans.

That situation happened, it made no difference if someone filmed it up close or not,it's nature and how on earth did someone filming it have any influence?

@@davidmellish3295 maybe the others crows are afraid of the man , and would harass the hawk if they were Alone

And risk jail

He did not interfere.

@@Encourageable The crows made several aggressive passes at the hawk early in the video, though in the footage we see they were always concerned about the human standing nearby, and moving closer. The closer the human moved in, the less the crows dared to defend their buddy. Without the human moving in close, the crows would have continued, and in fact would likely have escalated their aggressiveness, the way animals that rally against a predator typically do. They have to "work up to it". Even mighty African water buffalo, have to get "worked up" before they start becoming earnestly assertive toward a predator, sometimes eventually saving their buddy from the certain-death clutches of a lion pride. It's absolutely 100% within the normal and natural behavior of a murder of crows (←exceptionally smart and calculating birds) to rally against a predator that's attacking one of their own. We'll never know just how far this murder of crows would have gone in violently pestering the hawk, ...because the human showed up and stopped their defensive group counterattack completely.

I disagree, the cameraman wasn’t close and did not intentionally interfere. He zoomed in from a distance. The crows are cowards and only pick on birds smaller than them or any animals they think they can bully. They’re very smart until they’re not. And this one was not.

Crows also eat eggs and chicks of various birds, hawks and owls. I've seen it a few times on my land. Three badass crows almost killed two golden eagle chicks but the parents came back just in time to fend them off, one was killed and the other two never returned. The chicks survived.

That's like trying to change nature. Not all hawks feed on snakes and rats. Besides, no raptor has assigned its life to rid man off his pests. Those which feed on rats and snakes do so because they prefer that.

hawks control the population of animals like crows, pidgeons, mice, etc. if this birds didn't exist all this animals would become a plague, if they aren't a plague now. think before writing 👍
