I think all birds are pretty smart. But the biggest flaw I’ve seen with hawks is that they get to prey focused. They lock onto one thing and keep it a target. However, even when crows are eating, they always have an eye out. They always are weary and never let an ego get the best of them.
I'm witnessing that right now (audio only) for about an hour so far. A murder of crows murdering what I suspect is a mate or young. It's an absolute epic to the death battle. All these decades watching birds, I have never seen or heard anything like this. The crows won't shut up and the hawks continue squealing and circling only to be chased by dozens of crows. It's like the friggin Serengeti out here 😆 in central Virginia USA
We had a hawk preying our yard last summer, I guess it was eyeing the pigeons at out feeders. Could not believe when I saw three crows swarm the hawk during flight and take it to the ground into our neighbours yard.
Man, it is just sitting there plucking the feathers off the bird and eating bites of it and the crows keep attacking and the hawk doesn't seem to be scared!
Something similar to this happened in my neighborhood semi-recently. :( It was an owl though, not a hawk. The crows had been actually very strange for about a week, they were almost never on the ground foraging like normal in the mornings like normal. Finally I heard a big commotion and found them all and got there just in time to see about a dozen crows chasing an owl out of the neighborhood! I got chills when I saw all those tiny black feathers that the hawk was ripping up, poor baby. :(
MNS I hate Hawks! I need to learn how to use a slingshot so I can slam them when they try to get our chickens! That would be so fun! Otherwise, I hate to kill animals. Something like a hawk would be the exception.
Crows can only really do serious damage to a hawk or other predator if they can get them to the ground. When there's a hawk in the air for example crows will often peck at the eyes or other places to get it to crash and if the hawk does crash it's game over
Hes eating a bage/brownish bird. NOT A CROW . Crows are attacking him because they are NATURAL ENEMIES. I support the Crows on this one.😉👍🏼... I cant hate the hawk either but, IT WOULD BE SO AWESOME IF HAWKS WOULD stick to ONLY SNAKES and FISH. or better yet, If they went 100%VEGAN. 👍🏼😉
I hate crows and glad he’s eating them. I raise pecans for a living and they steal a large percentage of my crop. In low crop years they’ll steal them all. They steal songbirds babies from their nest. They’ll kill baby chicks and ducks just like a hawk. I shot 3 this morning. They group up in the thousands in Kansas.
@@jamesbarron1202 I guess you actually experienced the live version of Hekyll & Jekyll? Not funny in the real world! Crows are like the Motor Cycles Gangs of the avian world!
That Red Tail is such a boss! Not only am I going to steal on of your chicks, I am going to eat it alive right in front of you! lol. Damn you nature, you savage.
When they start striking they ain't a feared of ya,hawk,lol. Frankly the braver ones were trying to get it to drop the prey and leave,so they can eat it. They only mob to either rob or kill,they only wanted the food,why they pursued it after. Or they wanted it all,including the hawk. They're really not afraid of much,and they are retaliatory
Pretty sure that was a youngster it caught. Crows are really particular about their own kin, esp when it comes to death and danger. I can pretty much guarantee they weren't looking to cannibalize their baby.
no doubt? so the crows will lead us to the promised land i guess these symbols like the hawk really is a metaphor for how we view the preditor and the prey .with the asymmetrical power struggles that are the result of a society geared up on game theory and Redbull. the sanctioned symbols of our world are the preditor angry eagle with his head turn to the left or right?I can't remember but it's that and the bear and remember to not be a sheep or you will be eaten by the lion. so I say you are right the hawk is a remnant of the idea that i am somehow on the side of right with vision and in truth, if you get close I peck your eyes out. Just like every other commercialized creature comfort-loving hive-minded busybody on the planet who probably is like the American psyche .at least that's what it takes to be in the "club" to "PlaYball" it either you're at the table or your on it and if your not paying than your the product. this is our strange and messed-up world. or at least the symbols tell me that its all about what drives the markets. and politics oh religion and so on . so thanks for reminding me that my comments are childish and unimaginative and that the friendly neighborhood hawk isn't my friend because honestly i don't have any friends. so i make shit up about the hawk being my friend. probably because my mother always liked hawk?. really in reality it's because where I live there isn't very much wildlife left and it makes me sad so I'm taking measures to have a zoo in my mind and so far it's filling up fast. monkey mind in realtime
You can’t sit with us
on Wednesdays we wear black
And the crows gathered amongst the streets screaming "MURDERER MURDERER MURDERER MURDERER MURDERER"
Crows: Wuz craccin Cuz? U in tha wrong hood loc
Hawk: I'm just tryin to enjoy my lunch homes
I LOVE CROWS. ❤❤
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE BIRDS OF ALL !!! 😍😍❤❤

The group that visits my back yard daily, always has one bird in a tree as lookout. Without fail, one bird keeping watch.
That’s bc crows have several enemies, hawks really don’t
A few years I heard a commotion in my backyard, there was a hawk on the ground and several crows in a circle around it. Couldn't believe it.

Crow hate eagles. I love how brave they are.
Yeah, they are also much more intelligent.
That's a hawk
that's pretty typical I see crows and Hawks sparring all the time then I'll see them hanging out together in one of my trees like best of friends
Hawk: “I’m just sitting there, trying to enjoy a little snack and then, out of nowhere three thugs started in on me.”
Relax Karen......🤪
That's probably their friend he is eating

Hawks are assholes that go after other birds and small animals- even pets. I’m happy crows are doing this
@@NEnigma777
Yeah but it’s not like they chose to be born strictly carnivorous
The crows are my kids when I'm trying to eat
"WHATCHA EATIN?"
We had a hawk preying our yard last summer, I guess it was eyeing the pigeons at out feeders. Could not believe when I saw three crows swarm the hawk during flight and take it to the ground into our neighbours yard.
Oh yeah crows are known to often harass hawks and owl's, it's a behavior called mobbing.
My totem is not even worried at all.When the hawk appears to me.Its very special..This raptor picked me back in 1999.
.
Crows all nervous. Hawk cool as a cucumber
especially when the hawks eating they're baby
@@nzbrickie4082 circle of life
There not nervous they about kick it ass no bird of pry stand a chance against murder of crows
That hawk has balls just sitting there while the crows gather next to it and attack it at the beginning
It needs to feed more than it needs to fight. Energy isn't free for them, so the Hawk will take a few hits to live and fight another day.
Obviously that's all they can do. The hawk knows the crows will only mock, nothing more.
Like tossing pebbles into the ocean
@@henthust9784 Crows know its only a matter of time before one of them is at the receiving end of those talons
Hawk is gathering Intel on which crow will be the next snack, in a calm manner while the crows flail
Man, it is just sitting there plucking the feathers off the bird and eating bites of it and the crows keep attacking and the hawk doesn't seem to be scared!
when a hawk has a kill, it actually doesnt give a f about alot of things. even people. they dont scare off their kill easily.
True....I've driven by hawks on roadside kill and if anything they might pull the kill a little farther off the road.
I'm pretty sure in the end the Hawk ate it's meal and the Crows had to watch.
Yeah, but man was it annoying. Maybe he’ll hunt elsewhere to avoid getting yelled at by crows.
They wanted it out of their territory. Mission accomplished
He knows the crows not going to do dilly
Gotta love crows 😹😹
The reason why crows harass hawks is because they see them as a threat overtime I see a hawk outside the crows always go after it...
hawks got their baby

those crows are playing a game with the hawk, called fuck around and find out.............
Nah, fuck hawks
Just like a lion with hyenas , crazy how animal tactics are similar when food is involved .
Poor baby Crow yet totally awesome shot. Love Hawks! Crows are amazing too.
MNS I hate Hawks! I need to learn how to use a slingshot so I can slam them when they try to get our chickens! That would be so fun! Otherwise, I hate to kill animals. Something like a hawk would be the exception.
@@leeleeturn same I have chickens and sadly one of them weren’t so lucky.
Couldn't he find another spot to eat? It's like me going to a place I am not wanted😆
The crows are taking revenge for their comrades
So beautiful
amazing vid thank you!!
The crows attacks doesn't even pharses the hawk. Hawk is acting invincible

Crows like " ayo where you from my nigga?"
House of Ravenclaw vs Baltimore Hawks
Ravens don't caw.
This is known as “EATING CROW”🐦⬛
one time i saw a group of three to four crows chasing a hawk in the sky. a few days earlier i saw the same hawk eating a crow on my fence.
Crow want to steal the food
Go Crows! I’d try to get revenge too if someone killed my kid or even my friends kid
I can see 10,000s crows driving along at dusk downtown. But I only see a hawk once or twice a week. Usually red tailed
What city are you in?
I see this all the time
It’s lonely at the top
Hes eating a bage/brownish bird. NOT A CROW .
Crows are attacking him because they are NATURAL ENEMIES.
I support the Crows on this one.😉👍🏼...
I cant hate the hawk either but,
IT WOULD BE SO AWESOME IF HAWKS WOULD stick to ONLY SNAKES and FISH.

Yeah, hawks should just stick to sushi...like you.
Without predators life is unsustainable so maybe turning animals vegan isn't such a good idea 🤷
Is the fighting in the room with us rn?
goodd
I love Hawks
The crows had already lost. Not sure if the hawk would have gone back to the next for another baby or if it would be satisfied with just the one.
Mashallah nice job
The hawk didn't look like a threat to me
YOU PICKED THE WRONG ROOF FOOL!
PKA brought me here.
same bro
Hawk gives zero f’s 😳😏
I suspect the hawk was eating a baby crow.
this just happened on Christmas morning and I made the crow get away from the hawk. hawk is my friend and I don't know why?
Hawk just wants to get close enough to peck your eyes out...
Bro crows can remember faces dawg, you boutta get swooped on
That Red Tail is such a boss! Not only am I going to steal on of your chicks, I am going to eat it alive right in front of you! lol. Damn you nature, you savage.
Shhh, that's my story and i'm sticking to it! :)
@BUSTY PETS nonsense, there's a video with 15 crows watching a hawk eat a crow in a parking lot and they are doing less than in this video.
That's NOT a baby crow. That's a bage/brown smaller type bird.
@@DowntownSound1 Thank you for seeing what was truly in the hawk's grasp...
looks like us protesting biden picking our bones
The hawk is sasuke and the crow is itachi
Murder she wrote.
i forgot birds are cannibals.
Infact, predators. They would only be cannibals if they eat their own species, like if a red tailed hawk kills and eats another red tailed hawk.
When they start striking they ain't a feared of ya,hawk,lol.
Frankly the braver ones were trying to get it to drop the prey and leave,so they can eat it.
They only mob to either rob or kill,they only wanted the food,why they pursued it after.
Or they wanted it all,including the hawk.
They're really not afraid of much,and they are retaliatory
Pretty sure that was a youngster it caught. Crows are really particular about their own kin, esp when it comes to death and danger. I can pretty much guarantee they weren't looking to cannibalize their baby.
The hawk messed up. Flying the crows will beat her up. They can fight in the air
too much bark, not enough bite
The crows are good - the hawks need to be run off as they are an enemy to me and my chickens

The crows were jealous the hawk had a mouse and they had nothing 😂
You didn't read the description. That wasn't a mouse, it was a baby crow.
😢
@@susanivy3619 sad wish they were able to snatch it back
@@susanivy3619 The hawk was pulling what looked like mature feathers... it looked more like a sparrow or such.

1 on5thats me
The crows must be catlickss
Crows have one of the most annoying calls of any bird I've ever heard.
the guinea fowl would like a word with you lol
Guess you've never been around a flock of mocking birds. They live up to that name and you just want to shoot them all out of the sky!
Don't forget friggin' peacocks...
They are actually songbirds!
Crow,s are prick,s of bird,s. 🔫😑
Crows are to Hawks as Hyenas are to Lions! I hate when we get the crows marauding the neighborhood sky's.
