- Sharp-shinned Hawk killing and plucking the feathers from a European Starling. Sharp-shinned hawks are accipiter hawks, they mainly prey on birds and are an important part of the ecosystem as they hunt the weak and sick birds leaving the strong ones to continue to breed.
The Sparrow Hawk is its European Cousin, this link is a good video describing its hunting patterns.

The whole time I'm thinking "she loves me, she loves me not."
Hawk gotta eat like everybody else...
It's a starling, an invasive species. Bon appetit, Mr. Hawk.
Did you just assume that hawks gender?
@@nickpetrovich8760 Males and Females are different sizes and Colours!
@@darrenporter1850 I was kidding but thanks for the info👍
I can't find the post you put on here, but it's a Sharp-shinned Hawk, it does live in North America. I live on the East Coast of Canada hence North America.
@@paulmartin8633 Yes. I deleted my post. At first thought a Sparrow Hawk but is a Sharp Shinned when realised was in North America.
We want them to learn to eat Starlings!
Someone says it is a starling.
@@Turtleback8024 It IS a starling.....not someone said.
Yeah, if they are going to eat (and they are), make it a starling, or a house sparrow.
@chicago shawn I fughkin hate house sparrows.
They can't eat too many starlings in my opinion. They are an invasive species. We had a sharp-shinned hawk visit our bird bath a couple of time last fall. It put on a great show of personal hygiene. It came by again and left with a sparrow.
I love birds so much and people might feel sad that this is happening to these small birds but without these Raptors everything will be off balance.
Yup, the natural world is a balancing act, prey and predators, Raptors and Owls are a key in the food chain. The strong survive and the weak perish, keeping the balance healthy. We here in southern NB have a deer problem, we don't have wolves and we continue to kill off the coywolves so the deer are overpopulated and we now have a major tic problem. Remove the predator and balance goes out the window.
Yea they're cool
Fkn nature and nature system really...
@@paulmartin8633
It's erroneous to say only the strong survive and the weak perish. Yes of course the weak, old and young are more prone to be taken as prey, but there are myriad examples of healthy strong animals being prey for all manner of predators.
@@hyena131 on average a raptor takes mostly the weak or sick, you happy now.. .no okay go pound dirt!
The bird puking blood everywhere is pretty metal.
That's a Hawk.
@@ZarzuelaTheRhynochetos
I think they’re talking about the bird that the hawk is eating. Lol.
maybe the starling had eaten blueberries the day before. I don't think that was blood.
Hawk has good time management skills. Start plucking feathers while the talons inflict their mortal wounds.
Prey dead by the time dinner commences.
Now just imagine what dinosaurs did to each other...
These are them
Chicken is the closest relatives to the T Rex look it up
@@brandonvessell4659 all birds. Not just the chicken. The ratites like emus and ostriches retain the most basal traits so you could argue they are the closest living relatives to T. rex.
Like a ground grappler, he sits until his opponent is overcome by trying to escape. Then, he goes for the kill. So is this bird.
Thank you for filming the right way, horizontally, keep it up!
You are tearing me apart, lisa
Passenger pigeons were hunt to extinction because they were considered to be pests. Starlings are beautiful, hawks have to eat. It's the cycle of life
3:15 hawk plucks some feathers, looks right, plucks some more, looks left... LOL
That is the only thing i hate about this species other than that i adore it, it wastes so much time, but i get it, it does keep its eyes on all surrounding to make sure no other predators approach, but this same self caution which makes the process longer result in attracting crows who in numbers can snatch away it's lunch.
@@stephenjohn2131 It’s written in it’s DNA to eat like that. Like hyenas never strangle or kill their prey, they eat it alive. It’s all instinctive. The wonderful creation of God.
Is that blood or lunch the prey is puking up?
blood, likely an artery
Starling: I like ya, and I want ya. So we can do this the easy way or the hard way. The choice is yours.
Songbird: I don't believe you and I will be doing anything, any kind of way.
Starling: Ok, ok. I think you're choosing the hard way. ☻
Starling: don't make ruin that but Songbird! I'm... Imma warrior!
Songbird: Tweeeeeeeet! Tweet! Tweet!
The Sharp-shinned Hawk is eating the European Starling. The Starling is the songbird.
Well done!
Hawk: u need a hair cut
Your in a right place and time my friend u have wetness the Cycle of life, have a wonderful blessed day w/ur lovely family and friends 🤝✌️❤️🌍
Great footage...👀
Why do you have "sparrowhawk" in the title, if it is actually a Sharps?
Until recently, I thought it was just the European name for the Sharpie, but then found out it's not but haven't got around to changing it.
Good video
Looks like it was dead at about the 2:30 second mark. Maybe the hawks talons penetrated its heart and lungs? You can see it gasping for its last few breaths.
Man there are some stupid comments in here. Awesome sighting.
Thanks, we are fortunate to live in an area with an abundance of birds, this year we have nesting Merlins in the area which are keeping the songbirds vigilant.
He goes to the head brain...
Unfortunately for the Starling. Great capture! That's how nature works.
It sure is
Starlings suck.
The nature in our back gardens is as savage as anything you could see on the Serengeti. Just on a smaller scale and it doesn't cost £1000s.
bird eat worm. poor wormy.
The starling was smothered by the weight of the predator standing on top of it. Similar to a boa constrictor wrapped around its prey. Thanks for sharing.
No, it was eat to death....like all raptors kill.
@@mikevrabel5349 sure Mike.
@@francissantos7448 youre welcome
nature is cruel, but the hawk has to eat.
Humans : Nature is so nice
Also Birds :
Basically 4 minutes of pulling feathers off...and still doesn't get to the end lol
How cold was it that day
Hovering just around freezing, why?
@@paulmartin8633 I never lived somewhere cold, I was thinking "darn it must be super freezing!" Sorry for weird question :/
@@orangecreme222 no worries, really cold is minus 24 deg celcius with a windchill of minus 35.
Dish of the day sir
Did the starling survive after the video ends
no, once the hawk realized we were in the window it flew off with its prize.
@@paulmartin8633 ah that’s no good so no winners all around in the end. Great video all the same and I’d imagine a rare encounter being that close 👍🏻
@@JRealkkk Well the hawk was a winner. Hawks don't get every bird they chase, they tend to get the weak or wounded so though it might seem cruel in actual reality the hawk is an important factor in the ecosystem.
@@paulmartin8633 yeah absolutely and apologies for my confusion, I thought you wrote it flew off “without” it’s prize.. Hence why I said no winners!
Nature at its best. Good vid.
🤔...WHAT A PLUCKING EXCELLENT VIDEO ,THE TRUE HARSHNESS AND REALITIES OF NATURE ...THANK YOU...👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
perfect shot!
what is this sheet
He's getting a Chinese needle massage and a haircut at the same time must be nice.
Hope you get the hell you godless and joke there as long as you want.
Ya happy now?
@@paulmartin8633 About what?
Its either kill, or be killed!
OMG, they are merciless
Major difference between hawk and falcon behavior. Falcon would have instantly severed the neck vertebrae.
Really? I thought all predatory birds kill this way. Just pluck pluck pluck stare away for 10 minutes and pluck pluck again leading to a slow and painful death for the bird
@@mikearyeh4608 Eagles kill with talons mostly. Their grip strength allows them to puncture vitals and even penetrate the skull sometimes. Also, unlike a Pitbull's jaw, their feet actually have kind of a ratcheting lock mechanism. Large eagle species have talons that are equal in length or even longer than grizzly or tiger claws.
@@mikearyeh4608 Falcons have a powerful bite and often severe the neck vertebrae of prey that is not killed outright as a result of an airstrike.
THIS IS THE DIVINE ORDER.
No wonder hawks eat so much, they burn 3/4 of their consumed calories just being jittery and paranoid while trying to eat.
Humans are no different. Let nature take its place.
Are you sure that's not a Cooper's Hawk?
Pretty sure this is the Sharp-shinned, we had a coopers also but it's bigger than a bluejay.
@@paulmartin8633 Juvie female sharpie, for sure.
The girl was crying lol
Some Goodfellas scene there...victim is coughing blood etc
That is a chonky hawk
How to pluck your kill.... by sharpee the hawk
Found one on my Back yard this Winter broken wing. Got it to a rehab center hope it's doin OK. They come into town every winter and terrorize the bird feeders. Cheers
Really when you think of it, we place bird feeders out where birds are drawn to feed, which in turn draws species that eat birds, rodents, and such. Therefore, we are actually creating the senario for this to happen. Everything needs to eat, birds of prey will take what they can get, and that is often weaker or sick birds and therefore the stronger survive.
@@paulmartin8633 Yup that's nature's way alright. Cheers
One less starling
Oh si papi
Are European starlings invasive?
Officially, the European Starling is designated as an invasive alien species in North America. But they didn't just land here mysteriously; they were introduced in 1890 by a well-meaning Shakespeare enthusiast. We invited starlings here to the U.S., and now we lament how these birds hurt our ecosystem
There are some invasive species that have no predator to control their populations, the starling , like the American Goldfinch are often preyed upon by hawks
This is a good catch because starlings are an invasive species anyway
The Law of more strong. In the wild life.
It's true, birds of prey will take what they can get, and that is often the weak and the sick.
Now you came to find out the truth of our nature.
Nothing strange. He's feeding.
I had to see a therapist after this graphic video
I hope they charged you a grap load
Nature is beautiful & cruel, don't believe for a second you're not in it.
Starlings are pest birds, well done, Raptor
At about 3 minutes the starling stopped fighting, the hawk has been slowly suffocating it, and its heart is probably over-taxed, so, it dies at about 3 minutes, the rest is just plucking and eating...
yup and it was hard to film but not something you see every day so we recorded it. It one of the more difficult parts of nature I've had to film. Definitely educated me on the hawks hunting tactics.
@@paulmartin8633 hi Paul; a lot of people forget that the hawk is, in fact, in peril from the starling's beak, especially. The starling can damage an eye, or even the neck, and render the hawk unfit to hunt...and that means a slow death for the hawk, and possibly its offspring.
Hawks gotta eat it's just nature
got to unwrapped it before you eat it
it's difficult to breath when you have someone bigger than you on top of you. Even harder if you are panicking because you know that predator wants to kill you. The heavy weight and the fear might have caused the bird to throw up. I like thinking the stirling had a quick death by choking on his own vomit than having to endure chunks of its own flesh being taken off one by one and causing a longer and painful death.
Talons inflicting deadly wounds. That's why the hawk keeps changing position on the prey, digging in those long sharp talons.
Might as well pluck feathers while it's waiting for the prey to die.
Nature is only perceived as cruel.
ONLY because it actually is.
Solo le esta haciendo un corte de plumas el gavilan es peluquero
I just got this translated, that is funny :)
Well at least they don`t die of cancer.
why don't you help him?
The hawk deserves to eat. If we went out it would fly away with its meal.
What torture
bleeding from the mouth.
It is human responsibility to keep a world where biology can live innocently!
Innocently????
how do you make carnivores hunt innocently...
Paul Martin the circle of life, natural selection, those kind of things
@@nubbub800 so in your version of the circle of life, where does the hawk fit in if it needs to eat. Natures circle of life is the strong survive and the weak perish . Predators like hawks, wolves, coyotes, owls, etc... keep a balance to the equation, keep populations in check, which in turn keeps disease down. Often man gets in the way and then the system is out of whack and we end up with large populations of herbivores that are full of disease and cause an unbalanced ecosystem. So are you saying you think we should interrupt the hawk's feed or allow it to be part of the ecosystem and continue to feed on the prey it's designed to eat?
Paul Martin okay so how else are hawks and other predators going to eat? They have no clue what innocence even means.
no, nature isn't cruel, it's beautiful and true. the hawk is a predator just as the prey it is consuming. I could not make out the bird being eaten but, I'm sure that bird isn't a vegetarian. this was his time to be eaten. no different from the human species consuming cow, or fowl,
Голубя поймал?
Not sure if I got the translation right...Dove Caught? European Starling.
@@paulmartin8633. Точно, клюв длинный
It is sparrowhawk
yes, it's an accipter, to be specific it's a Sharp-shinned Hawk.
Hawk is soo wild and there's other birds like:eagle red kites and falcons
It was necessary not to shoot, but to go out and help!
What, help the hawk eat the bird? or are you implying that we should let the hawk starve, therefore it suffers because it can't eat. Hawks don't get every bird they chase, they use a lot of energy chasing birds. Not to mention, if we went out the door the hawk would have flown off with its dinner, but hey, you want to save the world...maybe instead of worrying about the invasive species, you should be concerned with the homeless human beings.
Really if you're that offended, why did you watch the video?
What a pain in the ass- having to pluck everything before you eat it....
I was hoping it was a Cuckoo. I despise those birds
I've only seen a cuckoo once (Black Billed) and they eat tent caterpillars so they are always welcome.
He appears to have died at the 2:45 mark.
It was hard to film, but it's about documenting the hawk's kill.
Sssshhhh just let it happen.
Nature is cool, you're right.
Hawk is king species in all bird...
No other birds gotta escape from hawk claws
Eagle
Not as cruel as an invasive species brought here by humans.
God is merciful!!
Hawk needs to peel feathers first to eat birds. It means the prey will be peel feather off untill death. It's pretty painful.....
yup, it was painful to watch, but it's part of nature, and whether we like it or not it's how they hunt. I appreciate all aspects of nature, and though it wasn't easy to film this (apparently some people feel we enjoyed filming this) I believe it's important to understand how they hunt. The Hawks have to eat just like the other birds, and as I've often said, they help keep the ecosystem healthy by taking the weak and sick and leaving the strong to breed.
Why are u so close??
Actually you can adjust your camera so it can look close! Where you been?
Though I do have a zoom lens, this particular shot was taken through our living room window. The Sharpie took the starling off the feeder that was right out front and ate it right below the window. That doesn't happen every day, usually they pick them off further from the house.
HATE Starlings, Go Sparrowhawk!!
I don't see how it died... didn't take that much damage...
She needed to be more quite so he can eat in peace
She was excited to see him, behind a closed window, oh and it's quiet not quite. But your supposedly funny comment failed due to your spelling
Nature indeed is cruel.
People are too. !
Nature is so cruel !! Does she realise what she’s saying ...
Yes didn't you watch the video
Сволочи, как могут только это все снять.
Indigenous Revolution.
It's funny that I put a warning saying it's graphic and then I continue to get people who are offended and some who report me as putting out hate videos. It's a hawk eating a bird, part of nature. Happens every day, somewhere in the world. If you don't like it, and are upset by it then why did you watch it in the first place???
@@senkendininesanyorsun679 so you believe the starling was created by God, therefore the Sharp-shinned Hawk was also created by God and it would be wrong to take a meal from the hawk. Hawks tend to take the weak and the sick leaving the strong and healthy assisting in a healthy ecosystem.
Maybe they wouldn't feel the same after watching non-native Starlings killing native Bluebirds and taking over their nesting cavity.
@@senkendininesanyorsun679 wow so you think God created the starling but not the hawk..... talk about signs of being prejudice.
@@senkendininesanyorsun679 I appreciate you trying to explain your theory, I have my faith in God through Jesus Christ. As for the video, I believe nature is best left to run its course, the hawk is part of the bigger picture. I don't see it as cruel but by filming how the hawk hunts and kills are part of understanding the wild and with it we learn to respect and see why ecosystems are important.
@@senkendininesanyorsun679 Ya, we don't see it the same way.

.......
poor bird
Though it seems sad, the hawk also needs to live. Starlings kill young birds and destroy eggs in other song birds nests. In nature there isn't innocense, it's a pretty harsh world.
Nature is only perceived to be cruel
Pretty sure we had this conversation already
Killing the prey slowly in the snow makes it even better and satisfying. Quick death has no feeling.
