I had finally gotten a wild chipmunk to come and take peanuts from my hand , feed him every evening when i got home from work. It would always keep one paw, on a finger of hand holding peanut to sense any movement that he didn't trust. So i'm feeding him one evening ,on my right my view is blocked by frame of the house . C'munk is feeding running back & forth stashing the peanuts when suddenly a blurr comes from the blind side of the house,I jump a bit and that little C'Munk just makes it
@murphy13295 makes it back to his burrow as a big RedTail is applying its airbrakes{wings} and is trying to scoop the munk up in its talons{a miss} I'm just standing there feeling a bit stunned,relieved for the munk but a bit sorry the hawk missed a meal.Bird just turns its head a looks at me ,wouldn't call it a glare more of a "poker face" kinda like "Yeah ,so, whats it to you" was pretty cool. That Chipmunk got to be about half again as big as any other Munks in the area
to add to wat WeimGirl said im pretty sure they are not pets that you take out to impress ur buddys and put away for a week before repeating.Laws are strict and you hav to fly the bird . the point of falconry which is wat this practice is called, is to train and HUNT with the bird, it is not for pet keeping!
We Germans say it´s a Buzzard with a red tail, a Hawk in our mind is only the Goshawk we call it "Habicht" !!! For example the Sparrow Hawk called "Sperber". If you´re going to search for a translation for Hawk you will find "Habicht". Sparrow is the english name for what we call "Sperling". So we have no "Sperlings-Habicht" we call it "Sperber".
Yes you do have to have a license to own one. They also need LOTS of room to live in. I believe the minimum aviary size requirement would be around 20'w x 16'h x 40'l. And that's not even considering the food bill. I have rehabilitated raptors for a long while and they are extremely expensive to feed and keep healthy. Check with USFW for details on a falconry permit if you are interested.
Excellent!Great

It´s a Red Tailed Hawk and "Hawk" is what you say if you are from the US. In Europe you call it "Rotschwanzbussard" (German)

Cool! That is really interesting. Does anyone else know how to say "Hawk" in any other languages?
