14 Best Hawk Attacks Caught On Camera!!
Hawks are large, strong birds. Their large beaks are hooked for biting and shredding flesh, and their feet have sharp, curved talons for catching prey. Hawks can not only see farther than humans, but their visual acuity is eight times that of humans. If you want to see some spectacular hawks in action, keep watching, as we count down the 14 best hawk attacks caught on camera.

Iguana
Predators of the iguana include birds of prey and the hawk is one of those birds. Watch this hawk attack this iguana, but what seems like child’s play for the big bird is not. The lizard is powerful and keeps escaping the grasps of the hawk. The hawk has injured the reptile, but it is not able to seal the deal. It looks like this hunt is on the verge of collapse for the bird of prey. In this video, you can see how the hawk clamps its talons on the lizard and then jumps up and down to weaken it. Once the mission is completed, the hawk takes the iguana back to the nest to feed its family. Finally, this hawk uses this iguana to skateboard on the grass. I guess it’s training for the upcoming Olympic games. Curiously enough, after enjoying a few moments of skateboarding at the Iguana's expense, the hawk lets go of the reptile and takes off. I guess it had something more important to do.
Cat & Dog
While hawks will not go out of their way to attack and devour a cat, especially because cats are larger than their usual prey, if they are hungry enough and have the opportunity, they will. In our first video, this hawk targets a smaller cat, holding it tightly to a fence by putting its talons on the cat’s head and squishing it. This must be painful for the cat who tries desperately to free itself, but the hawk is too big and powerful. Once the hawk feels the cat is either weak enough or just plain dead, it takes off with it, probably back to its nest. A man was sitting at his workstation when he noticed a huge hawk perched on top of a cat out the window. The man grabbed his phone and hurried outside to film what was going on, not wanting to miss out on such a rare up-close encounter.
The hawk had complete control over the cat, and after it was weakened, it flew away with it. What an incredible sight to behold. A hawk and a small Yorkie were fighting for their lives in a family's garden. As another terrified Yorkie waited by and watched, the bird of prey viewed the dog as its next meal. A 15-year-old teen girl takes a seat cushion and begins pounding the bird in the head with it until it flees. The hawk allegedly cut a huge hole in the dog's neck, but the girl managed to get her to the vet in time. The teen said she'll be keeping a closer eye on her dogs from now on. Finally, this poor kitten took its last breath at the hands of this fearsome hawk. The little feline had absolutely no chance of escaping the powerful grip of the bird. RIP little kitty!
Hawks are incredibly intelligent. I'm in Florida and have several that live around the area. There's one in particular that comes flying in everytime he hears me crank up the riding lawn mower. He'll follow me around the property from tree to tree watching the ground closely as the lawnmower sends lizards and the occasional snake scurrying away. He swoops right in and grabs them up. He understands that the mower means lunch is served.
thats really cool
Cool
I've had crows do the same thing with field rodents except I never have seen them eat just kill then take off leaving the kill behind.
@@QuinntakillLOL Love from Bangladesh.
@@george31380 Do they kill just for fun?
5:06 peep the lil black bird tryna save the duck 😂
Aww, I saw that too. He's like "Hey, he's our fam!"
The morbid jokes are something else 😂
I was in my driveway and standing by my car just about to open the door. I heard something and looked and a hawk was flying right toward my just a couple feet above my head. It's eyes were focused and it was carrying a dove in its claws. As it flew over the dove was looking right at me on the way to it's death. I felt like I could actually see fear in it's eyes. It's one of the most unforgettable things I've ever seen. It was disturbing to see the difference in the two birds as they passed by me.
if you saved that poor crow from the hawk you would have been friends with crows for your whole life. trust me they would remember and tell their friends you are a good person :)
Crows are invasive and kill baby animals and swarm and attack humans crows are smart and stay away from a posible danger like a giant with no feathers or fur (thats us)and besides hawks only attack if hungry this hawk could have been starving. and btw crows get very greedy and beg for food VERY loudly i don't trust you either
@@goldenscar3933 yes they are invasive, but they have expressed tremendous memory, and other high level cognitive skills such as pattern recognition and creative problem solving. Some corvid experts postulate crows may be as intelligent and as aware as a 7 year old human! Sure they can be invasive, but humans account feeding crows and having their families recognize them. If they go to a national forest a lot the crows will announce your arrival, sometimes bring you shiny things (like a button or ring), tell other animals you are good shit! (Crows will warn the game and scare them off when they CAW CAW CAW. That's the sound of an intruder or someone dangerous) They have been known to show wolves where food is, and hunt in tandem, the wolves allowing crows to take pickings The crow and Raven are also deep esoteric symbols of death fertility and rebirth Sorry I guess I'm biased in this discussion 🥺 God bless! Love em!
@@3vanguardofthephoenix335 i know cussing offends me btw and also you cant take prey from a hawk with out getting infected and bitten the crow would die anyway if you ''saved'' it because of how hard the hawk was scraping it messing with it will make clamp down harder most likely killing the crow thats it (i still dont trust you)
@will b whats your problem?
@will b you could have just said you agreed?
My family and I raised a baby sparrow hawk some years back. It had fallen from its nest along with its two siblings, it was the only one that lived through the fall. We fed it raw meat until it was fully grown, then released it. The first thing it did was to fly up and land in a tree, which made all the birds around go crazy. For a few years afterward, we would see it occasionally in the spring and summer flying around our house.
aaaawwww I would've kept feeding it
@@Durka-Durka, If it had come back and landed near us I would have kept feeding it, but it needed to be free to fly and hunt as it wished. It was an awesome experience to be its caretaker and I actually was somewhat surprised that it lived and grew up enough to be on its own.
Stop telling lies lad
Very cool
@@Enigma-Sapiens can u pick me to and feed me😭😭😭hunger is killing me here in Africa
The skateboard part is awesome😂😂😂
Ikr 😅😂 its awesome i didnt know that hawks can go skate boarding and i see the hawk trying to drag the damn iguana its like hes trying to lift it up but he struggles to do it
Hawks are beautiful animals. I love watching them in flight and screeching. Their attacks on prey are definitely not pretty. Pretty brutal, but... they have to eat like the rest of us!
In India, all they do is steal my lunch box
Pigeon is like "ahhh ok, can you get off me now?!"
The hawk said “can y’all throw this on the grill for me ?”
Great video..There were more than 1 kind of bird here,but very well done..thank you.
Very informative, interesting and nice. Thank you.
hawk made the iguana like a skateboard😂😂😂
All the dislikes came from those who loves the animals they prey on.
правильно! я люблю белок - они милые и безобидные, а все хищники пойдут в ад
Well I guess cats and dogs are pets why should u film it if you can help the pet instead
1:25 his learning to scate board for a competition😂
“This hawk kills its prey so quickly that there is no pain”… sure!
Not quite. Usually when they get the prey on the ground they keep kneading the struggling creature with their talons until one finally pierces a vital organ. It's like being killed slowly with a dull butter knife.
@@adotintheshark4848 iu
Hawks are slow killers since they tear the fur and flesh or feathers off until they bleed to death. Nine minutes it took a pigeon to die. Only if the hawk, falcon or eagle knocks them hard enough that they may be stunned or alive with a broken neck.
How do you know? Do t you see he starts taking feathers away even with the animal alive. It happen to one of my chickens but I saved my chicken on time.
Just because we imagine that we would feel the pain does not mean that a hawk’s prey feels what we would feel. That’s anthropomorphism.
Hitting it with a seat cushion? If a hawk was wrapped around my dog it'd soon find my hands wrapped around it's fragile little neck 😂
а если твоя собака обвилась вокруг моей белки то мои клыки невыполненные брикетами,впились бы в твою собаку
I love Hawks and dogs…idk what to do at that situation.
I never imagine that these birds are so powerful..
Smart enough to aiming the head or at least the nick

Hawk looks at the camera: is there a problem human
I guess you could call him “Tony Hawk” 😂
The hawk uses the 🦎 lizard as a skateboard 🛹 😂😂😂
I've had to scare hawks away from our chickens more times than I care to think of... the hawks can have all the squirrels it wants but the chickens are off limits around here lol

He's not lying. I would sit outside with my firearms, guarding my flock of chickens.

how a peregrine falcon goes back to the nest and finds he has become a buzzard 😂
I love this video . By the way could you send the track list for the background songs those were really dope too
The pigeon cannot defend itself as destiny is fulfilled 🤣🤣
I live in a rural département in France where i get to see many birds of prey looking like the absolute royal birds they are, often perched on telephone wires or posts, and at an occasion on a farmer post, at window level (and he was unphased by my car passing near it). They are so majestic i risk crashing into someone else looking at them lol. Recently one of them almost hit my car but his keen eye made him take a quick turn away, and as i slowed down too nothing bad happened. He just had caught some rodent and witnessing it that close was a great moment of that day
there was a lot of wind when i was driving in these mountains. and a big bird, idk what kind, just slammed into the passenger window behind me. i even felt its body from the sound it made. was really weird
One stool pigeon off the street!😂
TONY HAWK APPROVES THIS VIDEO!
In my village, we used to rear pigeons... The way hawks and falcons were snatching our birds was breathtaking. You can never see them coming. They could leave us heartbroken and counting losses. 😅😅😅
sometimes you can follow up on chase.
They’re not all hawks some are eagles
And falcons
and falcons
And a owl
buzzard
Ok
He was literally licking his fingers.😂
amazing footage. great bird of prey. terrific.
No this bird is incredible hunter
I need to know how to keep these asshole hawks away from my yard , I'm a rescuer of cats have rehomed thousands in 22+years now these hawks or owls are taking advantage I'm month half 6 of my baby's have disappeared I will not stand for this Fk,N birds any advice please ty 🙏😢🙏
Some great attacks and kills !
All of them...such amazing creatures!!!
SAw this exact video last week on a hawk facebook channel...over 10 million views there already! awesome job
Beautiful video thanks for sharing
For the people who let their cats roam around thanks for feeding the wildlife.
Same goes for dog owners, common sense is non existent in today’s society.
@@martinurcino5104 I got an Tibetan mastiff should I worry?
Lol my malamute would have hawk for dinner.
*WORD!😁😀👍🏿✌🏿*
Ummmmm, how would he catch the hawk?🧐🤔
I will not sit there watching s hawk kill a kitten, hell not he'll see my talons too.
thats agile for flyng down so amazing 😧
The Hawk even showing off it's surfing skills.
How could no one save the poor cats, that broke my heart.
Exactly!! I was pissed that someone just stood by recording!
I was wondering the same shit !!
1:12 A missed opportunity to call him Tony Hawk
Iguana surfing has always been my favorite sport 😂
Always nice to see pigeons getting it.
You not know a " hawk" from a Golden Eagle? Calling every bird on here a " hawk" is pretty sad
I love bird watching. There is so many hawks and bald eagles in CO. I watched about 10 crows try and chase down a hawk and they cornered it in the big backyard tree by canal and then the hawk just jetted out and the crows couldn't keep up with it. They almost had the hawk though.
Very well done!
"...manufacturing a pillow...😂🤣🤣😂
I find all raptors repugnant. It sometimes takes the prey half an hour to an hour to die, while it is being ripped apart, one piece at a time. What a horrible way to die.
At 3:56 "You can hear the deafening cries ..." No I can't! All I could hear was a sort of tinkling music. I didn't know crows did that. Seriously, though, that's one of the really regrettable things about KZhead videos - a sound track that overlays the natural sound - be-it of an animal or an engine, I really prefer to hear the natural sound. If I wanted to hear music while watching, I could put on a music track - and that way, it would be music to my taste, not to somebody else's.
😂fr
I love this video thank you ❤️💕
I would save the cat and the bunnies because they’re so cute, furry and make great cuddle buddies.
Evidently they make great food too
That hawk was riding that iguana like a skateboard 🤣
It’s literally Tony Hawk!😂
You mislabeled a bunch of these clips. For instance that was a Gyr Falcon attacking the Canadian Goose; and the Peregrine Falcon took the bird out of midair as is their m.o. ; and you called a Red-shouldered hawk a Red-tail when you can see its black and white banded tail; and the one Red-shouldered hawk you did identify was an adult with full adult plumage, not a juvenile.
So you are a bird spotter 😝
in the last two years more misinformers vids appeared than 2010-2011.I mean everything: dogs, birds, reptiles, the sea world..I honestly think this is being pushed for a reason.The goal is to dumb down younger viewers. And they are very successful in that. just look at the comment section Instead of someone asking why under the name "falcon" ten different predators appear viewers comment on the power and technique, regardless of whether there is an eagle or a hawk in the video.Sad, very sad.
@@primuseklips yes it is and honestly if you are making a video on Raptors and a large portion of it is incorrectly identified it really fuels ignorance
@@dmx0352 I definitely am a raptor spotter. All birds not as much. I like the boss birds I like to say, because out there they are respected the most. But they also get a lot of shit, when they're alone other birds mob them, and from the time they are young, some birds try to knock them out of the nest, just so it is one less raptor (predator) as opposed to one more. I have observed some cool stuff tracking hawks (mostly). I have seen a Red-shouldered hawk adult male grab a 3 ft snake (rat snake I believe) right off of the bank of a crick, I was like 25 feet away from where he dove and snatched it up, and then flew right over me, shrieking its victory call. It's addictive to me as a former addict.
The one bird kill in the air was a falcon. There is a nest nearby where I live and I have seen a few kills. The only thing you find later is blood and feathers.
Wonderful 🥰❤️
The best Hawk
Awesome
When i was in mojave desert 2 years ago i have witnessed an eagle chasing a raven on the Air like watching a dogfight of jets 8n the air. Spectacular scene,but the eagle prevails as expected.
That's awesome man, that brought back a similar memory I have. About 13ish years ago when I was in high school, I was walking home one day down the sidewalk, and I saw a red-tailed hawk chasing two songbirds. I stopped and they flew right at me. One songbird was faster than the other and he flew past me, but the other one was grabbed by the hawk, who brought him to the ground, and they literally slid across the grass and came to a stop on the sidewalk about 5 feet in front of me. What was even more crazy, both the hawk and the songbird, who was being squeezed by the talons, looked right at me and we all froze for a second before the hawk flew off, carrying the bird lmao. The little bird had such a desperate looks on its face too, like he was asking me to save him. I almost forgot about that, thanks for reminding me haha
@@elgandos2 nice story
Nice job on this video bro!
my favorite is the skating hawk....lmfao
"You are alive when they start to eat you." Sam Neill voice Seriously, dinosaurs didn't go extinct, they just grew feathers and learned how to fly.
Hmmmm looks like we’re in danger
And most of them got smaller LOL
The hawk was skateboarding on the 🦎. Had to be a fun ride. Lol.
I didn't realise that hawks hunt crows so often.
I love your video it look so amazing ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 new subscriber
A neighbor in Jacksonville Florida lost 2 of her 3 pet yorkies to a Red Tail Hawk...The 3rd she stepped on it.
lol
It rips my heart to see cats fall prey. Horrible slow death...😢😢
seeing those cats really made me teary😭
Awesome Powerful Birds
I like how the hawk hit the slide and started side bobbing it's head like it was rail grinding. Lol that was tight though. I'm telling you dinosaurs didn't die out, they came back with wings, talons and a beak to match. goddamn raptors, those eyes 👀👀👀
All birds are dinosaurs you mean Raptors didn't die out.
Nice to see these hawks thinning out some cats, there everywhere these days killing everything
I guarantee you if i saw a hawk going for a cat id strangle the shit out of it
That’s not nice to see. Cats kill literally nothing. Maybe a rat. Like what are you talking about. No cat deserves to be eaten by a hawk. They are pets not food. Cats are also misunderstood, and from what it sounds like, you are the type of person that misunderstands them.
@@xjakex2514 absolutely right, anyone who would enjoy seeing that is a sadistic f#\k
Wtf is wrong with you,a cat didnt do nothing to you and also humans are the ones killing everything.
Good video thanks for sharing
Great video, thanks for sharing.... subbed.
My favorites are the various falcons, osprey and sea eagle you mistakenly called hawks.
and a picture of a chipmunk in the squirrels section.
calling a peregine falcon "hawk" is a crime.
@@lacertabilineata9337 Peregrine Falcons are cool
@@MR_Macs293 oh yes!
@@tmaryso43williams10 ______'''_
I work with these birds daily, and several of these examples are extremely rare, starting with cats and dogs. They also mentioned a hawk killing a 5 pound snake. While that is definitely possible, don’t confuse killing with flying with 5 pounds. The heaviest hawk in the USA is the Ferruginous hawk, and the largest ones don’t quite reach 5 pounds, and they certainly aren’t flying with that much weight.
These Animals when WILD AND FREE are most likely much More Powerful!!!! In captivity their instincts are probably dulled
Stop telling lies lad
Um, a hawk can carry more than its weight. Where did you work with them? In fantasy land? I have seen hawks carry cats away which is obviously more than its weight.
@@FarmerFpv he's lien and so are you lad
Idk how rare it is. All I know is I caught 2 hawks in my coup today. They killed a chicken but they weren’t able to feast. I scared them away, I’m sure they where hungry/desperate because not even an hour later when my dog was outside to pee they came back and swooped at her, one of them cut her pretty deep. She’s only 5 lbs. I’m sure they could have killed her instantly if I wasn’t there. Anyways, now I’m researching hawks.
Hawk skating with lizard is funniest thing in this video
So what we learned today is that I wanted to make a pokemon joke.
Hawk are so fearless, if this bird can grow as big as a vulture it will eat anything including human
Not that much.. Also hawks fears owls and other big raptors so as the king cobra.
@@touficjammoul4482 no they're attacking them, but as far he know that he can't beat them, he escape, because the size
I see hawk killing pigeons everyday in Toronto lol
Cat: Let's catch some bird today! Hawk: Karma is a b****!
A HUGE LIKE
That's sad...I love cats. That little grey one was so cute :(
Meh cats eat birds so that cat is a good food for a good hawk I don’t believe in cats because they eat birds for this reason I like birds and birds of prey too I’m not making you like what I like because it’s my opinion. 💕🦅💕
I guarantee you if i was there id strangle the shit out of that hawk break its wings and snap its neck with no remorse
@@rayssadantasbirds106 cats are way less ferocious than birds. Cats are loving and sweet, unlike these predatory birds. So it’s sad when a hawk kills a cat. Especially since the cat will die a slow painful death. When a cat kills a bird which isn’t super often, the bird will die faster and less painfully. Cats are graceful killers. So no i don’t think it’s good for for hawks or whatever, it’s sad. Especially since half of them are probably house cats too.
@@xjakex2514 I think feral cats should die en masse and if I could raise a large dog or bird of prey like a golden eagle to kill them I would
Some hawks attacked with such ferocity, they look like eagles :D
I love what she hunts. Nice reviews..
Good video im enjoying watching this fight of life
Also , l got to witness a retailed hawk carry a snake to its nest a couple of houses down . Also one almost hit my truck chasing birds on a huge spruce tree . Flew right into the bush and scattered a flock of birds hiding . Awesome to see those acts of nature .
у вас есть ответственность перед законом за уничтожение этих хищников ?
A hawk flying towards you carrying a snake has to be one of the most terrifying things a person can see. You have to karate chop the snake in midair or it could bite you on the way down.
It's fake
Fake
Great job thanks 🙏
Some attacks are from eagles... Good video!
I once saw a eagle swoop down and get a coi fish that had to be around 10lbs out of my friends pond. It was amazing to see. He struggled to take off and he was determined to keep that fish. Each strong swoop he gained height.
Impressive Hawks...funny comments...Keep it up!
Chicken Hawk he's not a chicken... he's just a hawk that likes chicken! -Henery Hawk
cool video
Eagles be like: "did you really call me a hawk just now"?
To be fair, that Sparrowhawk has a Jackdaw which is related to crows but are smaller, pigeon-size birds. The Cooper's Hawk did have an actual crow but they're bigger than Eurasian Sparrowhawks.
I love Birds of prey. Thanks for Video. I recorded a Copper's Hawk ripping apart a chipmunk and eating it. I was lucky enough to record 30 minutes of wildlife. I trimmed it to 4 minute and posted on KZhead for wildlife lovers.
Damn, everything is in the list
some clips are eagles, and on the last video of the "crow" has actually just a normal bird
Yes, that one last "crow" was actually a cuckoo bird.
The Eurasian Sparrowhawk seems to be the equivalent to our Sharp-Shinned hawk here in the states. Looks like a Coopers hawk but smaller.
Beautiful and powerful
I really did enjoyed
