Sparrow Hawk eats mouse and chokes on it

[photoman4you]

That's a funny thought!

[koRnfreak1218]

mouses thoughts before it died " i hope you choke on me"

[pigeoncesar]

but the real question is, will it blend?

[TheJellyfishninja]

You people are sick to just waste your time watching a animal almost choke. I watched 3 sec. of it, then the end and yall guys watch all of it!

[mreichert68]

thats an amairican kesteral

[jdb768]

It looks like a Hobby

[HGlider1]

In America the kestrel is called a Sparrowhawk. The European sparrowhawk is an accipiter similar to a Coopers

[83goshawk]

[trevorgek]

Revenge of the mouse- ith, kinda 0_o

[SeamusCallan1]

I can't believe how many stupid people are on Youtube! You can clearly see, if you watch closely, that the mouse had a huge penis, and the hawk could not swallow it.

[maximilli111]

@SeamusCallan1 lmao hahahaha

[SLYKM]

@SeamusCallan1 riiiiiight

[whiteowlonfire]

"eat slowly, Hawk, and chew your food" Lol

[TopJimbo777]

[gyrperegrine]

yes, female Kestrel, but not choking, it swallows everything, and casts it back up

[TheGarcia350]

~___~' dumb bird....

[Shayd93]

You can do it! You can dance!

[MrFatcake1000]

[MrCali925]

Talk about picking more off than u can chew

[Has1b]

poor hawk wat a waste

[CharlieOKane]

No opposable digits = where is your God now?

[richardritchey]

Interesting color pattern on that male Kestrel. Rare to see the white stretch around the back of the head like that.

[Tarafriend33]

Bummer!

[MPSecare]

great music

[katie892009]

its not a sparrowhawk m8 its some type ov kestrel or hobby or sum falcon anyways..definately falcon not a hawk..sparrowhawks dont eat mice or owt else off the ground only birds (clues in the name 'sparrowhawk).

[sexyhotro]

hey photoman4you you know you can change the tittle for people to just leave you alone right im just pointing it out some comments are hurtful am i right

[waldenhouse]

Very nice to see the inverted shape of its head on the back of the head - (look closely at 00:40 and 00:51) - this is to confuse its prey when catching it in flight and when attackinmg from above or below its prey. Great footage.

[kennnmoran]

See the pattern on the back of its head making it look as if it is watching while it has it head down

[raoorz]

lol the mouse is like im taking you down with me

[TheMindistorter]

Actually, "HER" mother would be more correct...That's a GURL.

[dirtbikecaboose]

@TheMindistorter Actually, no, its not, you can tell by the bluish grey on HIS wings... The American Kestrel is sexually dimorphic, the female would not have those markings...

[Me4678]

YOUTUBE: "Home of the keyboard warriors"

[TheFamilyguy1997]

it's a falcon

[xover76]

i don't think chewing will help since they don't have teeth....maybe smaller bites?

[photoman4you]

Are you on some kind of medication?

[foxy358]

american kestrel, nice looking bird

[Falconhawk123]

To those that don't know, the way that I understand it, sparrow hawk is nickname type thing to the American kestrel.

[dondamon356]

load of shit

[jamiekinsallover]

it dosent matter its just a bird choking on a mouse

[whogotchaa]

That's not a Sparrow Hawk, it's a Kestral. They changed the name from Sparrow hawk back in the 70's since they are not hawks but rather falcons. And it's not choking, that's how they eat for the most part. Back in the 70's and 80's I've had several of them. They tame down very quickly but are federaly protected and can only be taken with a federal permit.

[YeOldeIdiot]

Good God. The world's smartest people can be found on YouTube.

[retrodude15]

um...that would be a red tailed hawk.

[scrutchpipe]

THIS IS NOT A SPAROWHAWK, NUMNUTS

[earns22]

Great footage, for the sad ones who want to see a bird die, (doesn't say it dies in the title) birds of prey dont choke, they can and do bring up pellets larger than that bit of mouse

[godzilla619]

lmao XD what dumbass

[AnimalLuvver]

nice try swallowing the mouse whole

[hughcomotorsports]

Very disappointing. I was hoping to see it die. There's nothing better than watching  a hawk die - especially a red tailed hawk.

[hughcomotorsports]

And you're so sure of that, why?

Of course I'm serious. Why would I not be?

[kristijan12]

Why would you like to see hawk choke to death?

[hughcomotorsports]

The same reason anyone else would: Just for the satisfaction of watching it die.

I'm not sure where you're going with this, but why did YOU want to see it choke to death? (You did watch it, didn't you?)

[pachuca555]

that is an American kestrel but can be referred to a sparrow hawk in some known countries

[raulurrutia]

lol the mouse strikes back!

[bany69]

that's not a sparrow hawk , this is a Kastrol..........

[melvinceltic]

GTX

[monticellocoolkid5]

Thats really cool. We have a bunch of hawks at our house, I should try taping one.

[alkiflier]

It's a federal crime to trap a hawk or falcon without a special permit to do so.

[SamuraiDarkness]

tape, not trap you idiot

[Toobulations]

What beautiful markings that bird has!

[philosoisgrt]

wheww he got it out thank god ..lol

[red0dwarf]

someone give him a tooth pick lol

[hughcomotorsports]

YEAH!

[GatorBaby06]

sux not to have arms.

[unboundmadman]

just wiki it u thick fucking jewish niggas

[falconrychick]

This is an American Kestrel. The term "sparrowhawk" is a misnomer when applied to this raptor. A Sparrowhawk is a type of accipiter (forest dwelling hawk.) It's the same as people thinking that "buzzard" refers to a vulture, when the term "buzzard" actually refers to a buteo (soaring hawk.)

[daymien101]

in american the american kestrel is referred to sparrow hawk however in the UK the sparrow hawk is referred as the accipiter(the sharp shinned hawk).

[thingjob]

you know in the wild a lion usually suficates it's prey before eating it. where as birds just tear meat from the bones. I think I prefer the lions method.

[steveothehulk]

nah id like my eyes pecked out 1st

[MPH84]

HAHA NO THUMBS!!!

[thetk421guy]

FAIL

[cascadeice20]

this is going to make me choke!

[ccoraxfan]

I grew up calling this a sparrow hawk, and I always figured it was called that for its size, not much bigger than a sparrow. Anyway, enough of that.

Interesting predicament this bird got itself into! Got in a hurry, should have known better... but at least it shows you the bird's not stupid. It uses its foot like we would use our hands, in an attempt to pull the mouse back out. That failing, it finally resorts to coughing it up. It doesn't look like the bird's airway was obstructed too badly.

[ccoraxfan]

To all who posted insults: This is an American sparrow hawk, more recently called American kestrel. Its name of sparrow hawk has a long history. Much of the literature refers to it as a sparrow hawk, including old bird identification guides which many people still use. Some other names for it are: Grasshopper Hawk, Killy Hawk, Short-winged Hawk, Windhover, House Hawk, and Rusty-crowned Falcon. The scientific name, Falco sparverius, means "sparrow hawk". And a beautiful little "hawk" it is!

[Raptor8073]

thank god the bird didn't die

[cloudwatcher96]

that book costs alot

[manga12]

Field guide to birds costs alot? its just a little paperback, it could not be more then 20dollers, anyway this is a bunch of hot air over what that rapter is called.

anyway I do see lots of hawks though around northern indiana in the rural areas outside of the small cities though if you are wondering.

[manga12]

that is a falcon the american kestral. my referance is a book called field guide to birds of north america by Kenn Kaufman

they were reintroduced to fort wayne about a decade ago down town

[KuroHyo]

It's name is Falco Sparverious, belonging to the falcon family, but it's known as both a Kestrel, and a Sparrow Hawk, even though it's not of the family Buteo, Circus, or Accipiter.

:) Knowledge is power.

[foxrabbiteater07]

[totaljohn]

yeah, american kestrels used to be called "sparrow hawks" colloquially so some people still refer to them as such i suppose. they're not called that any more obviously to avoid confusion and for accuracy's sake and all.

what's with the music? haha.

[fawad411]

i kno about humans.. and Robbies You must be a fucken retard just pointing it out...

[svatosvk]

100% some kind of falcon...

[mikethebike7]

[avanzatotrxx]

I hate sparrow hawkes. They take my shirts from the clothes line.

[Robbieboulton123]

thats a flippin kestrel u fag! u dont know anyfin about birds!

[photoman4you]

Yes Robbie - I know-I'don'tknow anything about birds.Thank you for generously pointing this out...:-)

[gsi2000stokie]

go into your videos mate and change the title. save numptys like rob givin ya shit

[BlindMagSoprano]

@photoman4you Actually, know, Kestrels are smaller. That's a Perrigrin Falcon (forgive me if I spelled it wrong.)

[dirtbikecaboose]

@BlindMagSoprano No stupid Thats an american Kestrel... when you work with them while they are sitting on you, you tend to know the difference, which you do not...

[BlindMagSoprano]

@dirtbikecaboose In the mean time I'll take this time to point out that you are an asshole. I was clearly wrong, which I'm able to admit, but that's never going to change in your case. And yes, I do know the difference, I've worked with birds of prey, maybe for not very long, but enough to know the difference.

[qclegion]

wow ... calm down kid ... this guy is not expert he's posting a video. Least u can do is stay polite and correct his mistake. "fag"... go back to school if you think this person is a "fag" for not knowing what type of bird this was. Or atleast stop using words like that for no reason.

[13LizardBreath]

Just because it an American Kesteral doesnt mean you should go freaking out on anyone. I didnt freak out saying thats an AMERICAN kestral and your a retard.....

[JEPMANLEMON]

@Robbieboulton123 The american kestrel... nicknamed the sparrow hawk. Next time do your research before yelling at others...

[KyleNDavis91]

@JEPMANLEMON your the man! or woman whichever

[lljmeyer]

@Robbieboulton123 ...aaand... you don't know anyfin about spelling.

[SLYKM]

@Robbieboulton123 Don't insult fags by using it in that way, sheesh. And couldn't you at least use propper grammer, spelling and punctuation?

[wogg26]

@SLYKM You spelled 'Grammar' wrong.

[liverpooljim87]

@SLYKM Use some proper spulling mate!!

[triickyBoii]

Aa Goshawk Iz Biggah! Ma Nxt Door Neighbour Breeds BIRDZ oF pREY

[triickyBoii]

Thatz Aa Kestrel!! Not Aa Sparrow Hawk

[irishie]

looks like a falcon to me

[correck]

yeah, there is kestrel on the movie

[mcclth]

American kestral and sparrow hawk are the same thing.

[correck]

kestrel is falcon, sparrowhawk is hawk (it looks like little goshawk)

[mcclth]

Haha, I just wanted to point out that my sister apparently posted that under my name, because I know nothing about birds...

[falcoperegrinus82]

kestrels are falcons, sparrowhawks are accipiters.

[mcclth]

And once again - Haha, I just wanted to point out that my sister apparently posted that under my name, because I know nothing about birds...

[KuroHyo]

<<; they're both the same thing. Wherever you got your info is not correct.

[falcoperegrinus82]

KuroHyo: Okay, in the New World, the word "Sparrowhawk" is often used as a colloquialism for American Kestrel, but the AOU recognized official common name is Kestrel. In the Old World, Sparrowhawk is used as the official common name for Accipiters except Goshawks. Its confusing, but that's how it is.

[WildTiger6]

the nature center i work at i see the kestrel eat his mouse everyday and the red-tailed hawk eat her rat

[photoman4you]

This was shot in the middle of urban Los Angeles.

We don't see that every day- that made it special for me.

[micahtv]

yeah this is an american kestrel (i have one). The name sparrowhawk was given because of their small size and the fact that they prey on small birds. the name was misleading because they had no relation to the european sparrow hawk. in fact they aren't a hawk but a falcon (closley related to the peregrine falcon)!

[Jakooka]

As kenhawker1970 and others have said, it's a kestrel, not a sparrow hawk. If, however, you go back to old terminology that came from the early American settlers trying to name birds after things back home, it was a sparrow hawk. But they have long since updated the terminology. It has little or no resemblance to the European sparrowhawk which is an accipter, not a falcon like this bird.

[daave77]

They call them Sparrow Hawks in the States, we know its an American Kestrel ;-)

[hueymax]

An american Kestrel. A falcon, not a hawk.

[andrewlouiswalz]

It is not choking. It needs to whack the mouse tail off so it does not hang out. It also needed a little more salt and pepper.

[kenhawker1970]

its a american kestral, good filming tho.

[mayrat]

sweet

[g0g0nat]

zzZzzZzz...

[tonomyhill]

1st big deal
