Loved how he knew what he was doing with her. Can't believe she did not try to protect herself. He gave off positive no fear relaxed energy is why. All humans should treat all animals like he did.
Years, hm? Decades. In fact, half a century. Boggles your mind if you think about that there may be people watching this, who's parents were not alive when Mr. Tyner started this work.
I'm really lucky to be subscribed when the sub count is at 99.9k subs! This channel is growing at 150 subs a day so the very next day would've been the milestone... So lucky!
I just passed my test and am soon to build mews. I just wanted to say, the way your raptors look and act toward you is my inspiration. The hope that I can eventually work hard enough to earn that from a bird of prey, it's my dream.
Beautiful! I do constant battle to keep the hawks away from my feeders. When they come I just pull the feeders til they go away. But I get some great pictures cause they will come right in my yard. It’s a love hate relationship 🙄
I saw one of these with a fresh Robin in its Talons last Spring. Unfortunately it flew off with its prey because of the Robbins allies pestering it and I didn't see it long. One also dive bombed our bird feeder once but came up empty handed. These are beutiful birds!
@@GowildlifeOrg Glad you got this on camera. Did she ever catch a pigeon while she was hanging around? Most folks miss the actual catch. That would be something to see. I didn't know hawks would take down other birds until one day I saw a dove fly off a chain link fence 40 ft away from me, just in time to get taken down by a red tail hawk. It flew another 20 feet away with it, landed and started plucking out feathers. I'd never seen anything like it at the time.
Wow... her eyes. Beautiful orange. If y'all ever rescue one that has red eyes, be sure to show us. Thanks for sharing. Be safe. Much love from California 😎
God Bless you and your family and those may work with you. It takes special people to do the work you have done all these years for wild life Thank you. Take care, stay safe.
Always good videos Martin..I love them..here where I live in a Pittsburgh suburb for years we have had a pair of doves that made a nest above a light fixture on my front door...usually we hear them each morning cooing..so relaxing..but this year's dove in two days disappeared..till at the end of my driveway all there was were grey feathers everywhere..I have seen many times in my back yard on my fence one now and then eyeing up a rabbit from time to time..no doubt a Coopers Hawk might have had breakfast. Now we have no more cute sounds in the morning..just silence except from blue jays etc..keep up the great work you do for all of us by helping and saving these beautiful birds of prey..Bob
Beautiful is an understatement, indeed. Such a pretty girl. Her tail is spectacular. I did notice, however, that Martin's hands look like he has had a confrontation of some sort with a critter. Be careful, Martin.
She beautiful Martin, I’m in Cali and have had a few lurking in my backyard. What happened to your hands their all scratched up? You, Suzanne and the gang keep up the great work 👍🏻🦅❤️
Beautiful & irritated! I live in Kansas City, Missouri off a very busy street BUT I live in an apartment building that has a lot of pigeons on the tops of the buildings. There are also numerous big, older trees that make excellent perches for Cooper's Hawks here that, also, enjoy dining on the pigeons. Or, maybe, they are Sharp-shinned Hawks?
Beautiful! I live in Redding California, I’ve seen some hawks lately flying around our property, we have a mating couple of bald eagles that have atleast 1 baby a yr the last few yrs 3 usually 😊 (down by the Sacramento River by our house) we have a bunch of falcons lately and huge I mean HUGE vultures. I’m not sure what type they are black with yellow beaks and some have red necks but others don’t. We had one land on our big oak the bird was bigger than our golden retriever with a beak the size of my chihuahua atleast (we don’t let our little dogs out alone ever) we didn’t used to get all these birds of prey until about 5 yrs ago (around the house). I think it’s because of all the wild fires we’ve been getting. I’m so happy to know you save these beautiful birds!
I get those in my backyard. Unfortunately and fortunately they grab my mourning doves. I feel bad that I’m feeding the doves and giving the hawk an easy catch but that’s nature. I won’t stop feeding the birdies. Martin, did the hawk catch one of the pigeons??
Hi again MARTIN &SUSAN I'm smiling as you released her Martin because it looked like she was going to circle back around to your place again! Wouldn't that be something! Have you ever had that happen where one returned after their release?? Thx for sharing so early in the morning. Stay healthy!
Hi Guys ,, Just another day ,, Any other pigeon owner would be screaming blue murder .... Martins like .. oh you beautiful girl ,look at those orange eyes n banded tail .... off you go girl Much Respect from Down Under
The coop in my yard favors the mourning doves for meals. Rarely does she catch anything else, I guess the doves are slow and I see that when the jays call a warning, the mourning dove pays no mind!
They all migrate? Im in Ontario and wrote to you about the coopers that became a monster in my backyard all winter. I do feed all kinds of birds, so the coopers thought my backyard was a buffet. Every day my yard looked like a crime scene. I was cleaning up bits of bird and blood everywhere. Why did the one here not migrate? She is still around but do not see her as often. I know when she is around as the outside becomes dead silent.
I love watching you and you’re beautiful wife. I also love the work you do you’re both awesome wonderful. These birds are majestic and sacred. I’m so happy to watch you bring these birds back to the wild where they belong. 🦉🕊🦅🦅🦉🦅🦅🦅🕊🕊🐁🐁❤️❤️💜💙💚🦅🕊🐁🦉🦉🦉
Beautiful Bird. Gorgeous Orange eyes. Banded tail also gorgeous. Great release. As you’ve said you can’t save them all. After the release this Cooper’s hawk went back to the pigeon coop. Nice Try
@@GowildlifeOrg ha! The circle of life. I had a sick rescue pigeon in my bathroom when I saw this video and thought, "Oh! Martin and Susan rescue pigeons, too. Fantastic!" LOL But I get it. Believe it or not, there are people saving pigeons. The other residents of my city would probably not be too excited to hear that. We're a quiet network!
When I read the title of this video, I immediately thought of videos I have seen where a Cooper's hawk has gotten into a chicken coop and had a meal. Of course, they can't carry off a big chicken, but they can kill it and eat the neck/head. I don't think this happens often, but I guess if the hawk is hungry enough?
Spotted one hunting in a plaza parking lot today. It passed right in front of my windshield for a moment before perching on a light post... but I still couldn't tell if it was a cooper's or sharp-shinned!
3:00 - aaaand right back to the pigeon's coop, as Mrs. Tyner correctly stated. And that from a cooper's hawk of all birds! Which makes we wonder, would it have helped to show that bird the larger predators first who also live there? You know, the ones big enough to eat Cooper's Hawks? 😉
She is a beautiful hawk. This last February I had a group of Harris's hawks kill one if my chickens. The female which had also attacked a cat was so large that I thought it was an eagle. Then I realized after several hours of them feeding on this chicken between my interruptions that there was actually a pack of Harris's hawks. From what I read these are the only raptors in the world that hunt in packs. There was the large female and 2 to 3 smaller hawks that looked nothing like her. It was all very interesting and eventually they went on their way. I believe the large female is the real killer. The cat had deep talon cuts across his hips and barely made off with his life. The chicken wasn't so lucky. They will probably return this winter and now I have 32 laying hens to watch out for. They are beautiful birds.
I saw a family of Harris hawks in a clump of trees near a ballpark. They were carrying off a cat. I think my dogs and I startled them. Theyre beautiful, just kinda sickening because I have cats myself. Mine are strictly indoor cats!!
@@GowildlifeOrg oh you're so right Martin is a master falconer but I just wondered if he had ever trapped an adult bird and then trained it for falconry
I hate to ask, but I got to… Did she get any of the pigeons? I’ll tell you besides a hummingbird I’ve never seen a bird fly more acrobatically than one of those
@@GowildlifeOrg yes, i saw the hawk again today, he or she has a white stripe on both wings near the end of them when it's flying is that common with hawks?
Do Cooper’s hawks kill chickens? I’ve got some chickens, haven’t lost any but there’s a Cooper’s hawk that’s hanging around, idk if I need to put up bird netting over the yard, thanks.

Loved how he knew what he was doing with her. Can't believe she did not try to protect herself. He gave off positive no fear relaxed energy is why. All humans should treat all animals like he did.
Love watching an experienced bird handler with these raptors especially. Relaxed and calm composure that only comes from years of experience.
Years, hm? Decades. In fact, half a century. Boggles your mind if you think about that there may be people watching this, who's parents were not alive when Mr. Tyner started this work.
its amazing how they just jet out into the air like that.😮
She's in your coop because word is going around the hawk community that you have pigeons in there !
They're talking about it all over hawk Facebook.
She’s truly gorgeous
Agreed!
I'm so proud to be here before 100k subscribers! I'm absolutely blessed to be one of the last few who will be witnessing this huge milestone!
I'm really lucky to be subscribed when the sub count is at 99.9k subs! This channel is growing at 150 subs a day so the very next day would've been the milestone... So lucky!
It's been a long haul...
XD what a nice release, no sad story behind, no injury, just a simple release. 👍👍👍👍 I like this very much.
Quick and happy!
@@GowildlifeOrg : And probably with a full crop of pigeon but thats life. 😑😑😑
I just passed my test and am soon to build mews. I just wanted to say, the way your raptors look and act toward you is my inspiration. The hope that I can eventually work hard enough to earn that from a bird of prey, it's my dream.
I love the way the hawk started at him
She's beautiful, I bet she did a U turn when you weren't looking : )
Beautiful! I do constant battle to keep the hawks away from my feeders. When they come I just pull the feeders til they go away. But I get some great pictures cause they will come right in my yard. It’s a love hate relationship 🙄
They aren't very fun for songbirds
Thank you for being such an amazing person.
Thank you Patricia, we appreciate your kind words!
The orange eyes are stunning🔥❤️ i really like youre videos and i hope ill go as far as you in saving animals❤️❤️❤️
They are stunning!

Thankx Susan& Martin 💯🙌💜
Releases are the best part!
You are so nice to feed so many migrating birds. Even providing pigeons for migrating hawks.
;-)
A whole lot of people help us help critters!
I am grateful that there are people who sacrifice themselves and help animals so much. Thank you.
The comment is for the channel, not just this video.
Thank you for your interest, a whole lot of people help us help critters!
@@GowildlifeOrg I'm glad to hear that, greetings from Hamburg, Germany.
What a way to start a day :) (Also Cody, in background - bless!)
That release was awesome🔥
I saw one of these with a fresh Robin in its Talons last Spring.
Unfortunately it flew off with its prey because of the Robbins allies pestering it and I didn't see it long.
One also dive bombed our bird feeder once but came up empty handed.
These are beutiful birds!
It's not easy in the wild

What a great day for a mini release & Martin didn't have to drive this time, yay! Fly free Cooper's hawk🦅❤😊
Yep, definitely a quick one
Love this hawk she is so pretty. I wish I was there do I can hug her. Thank you for everything that u do God bless 🙏💕🙌🙌
She is a pretty one!
Gorgeous bird 💚
Agreed!
Thanks Martin for all you do! I did notice all the sores on your hands. 😔
Just dirty from preparing food for the critters

Sorry for your loss, I hope another pair of doves will find your spot in the spring. I love the coo of the wood dove.
It's not easy in the wild...
merci pour tout ce que vous faites, very great 🤩✌️
Thank you for your interest. A whole lot of people help us help critters!
She looks pissed xD
They are fierce!
She is beautiful!😊😊👍👍
She is beautiful truly, as long as they stay away 1 mile away from my chickens.
They aren't popular everywhere...
Beautiful girl!! L💖ve those orange eyes 👀!!😍😘😘
Agreed!
Oh man, thank you again for sharing your incredible life with us.
Beautiful hawk ... ♥️ those eyes.
Quite a sight!
Beautiful!!
That pretty little lady probably can't understand why you won't let her have the pigeons.
😂❤ he's not a Falconer 😅
I wish you had more videos. God bless you and Susan.
Thanks Susan, we've got plenty more coming...
Thank you.
What a pretty hawk. Those eyes are stunning.
Agreed!
Beautiful is an understatement, indeed. Such a pretty girl. Her tail is spectacular. I did notice, however, that Martin's hands look like he has had a confrontation of some sort with a critter. Be careful, Martin.
It was from preparing critter breakfasts
@@GowildlifeOrg Ouch! Martin truly needs all of this fingers. He is such an awesome, amazing, incredible man.

Thx for sharing so early in the morning.
Stay healthy!
Hi CC, thanks for watching. We don't know of any returns.
Hi Guys ,,
Just another day ,,
Any other pigeon owner would be screaming blue murder ....
Martins like .. oh you beautiful girl ,look at those orange eyes n banded tail .... off you go girl
Much Respect
from
Down Under
Hawks gotta be hawks...
The coop in my yard favors the mourning doves for meals. Rarely does she catch anything else, I guess the doves are slow and I see that when the jays call a warning, the mourning dove pays no mind!
It's not easy in the wild
@@GowildlifeOrg no, it sure isn't! There is no rest from predators, or even for the predators. Always someone is hungry.
They all migrate? Im in Ontario and wrote to you about the coopers that became a monster in my backyard all winter. I do feed all kinds of birds, so the coopers thought my backyard was a buffet. Every day my yard looked like a crime scene. I was cleaning up bits of bird and blood everywhere. Why did the one here not migrate? She is still around but do not see her as often. I know when she is around as the outside becomes dead silent.
Wow what a beautiful bird
Cody at 1:30
Caged up Cody!
Thank you. Pretty hawk i love your videos
Glad you enjoyed
Beautiful bird beautiful man.
Oh my she is beautiful 😍
Agreed!
You holding her captive probably convinced her to move on.
This is because of your rating on yelp from former rescues! 😉
😂
I love watching you and you’re beautiful wife. I also love the work you do you’re both awesome wonderful. These birds are majestic and sacred. I’m so happy to watch you bring these birds back to the wild where they belong. 🦉🕊🦅🦅🦉🦅🦅🦅🕊🕊🐁🐁❤️❤️💜💙💚🦅🕊🐁🦉🦉🦉
Great to hear, thank you for your interest!
very nice video, thank you.
Beautiful Bird. Gorgeous Orange eyes. Banded tail also gorgeous. Great release. As you’ve said you can’t save them all. After the release this Cooper’s hawk went back to the pigeon coop. Nice Try
Quite a hawk!
@@GowildlifeOrg She sure is. Very determined to get a good feed from the pigeon coop
I saw one on the street lamp pole this morning. There are a lot of doves in my neighborhood.
Spotted!
Good luck little Hawk but please stay away from the pigeon coop 😋😊
Hawks gotta be hawks
As a Falconer I say you make me feel better about Pigeon keepers - not all are like you 😊 you know? Falconer s have the Best Pigeon s in the loft
LOL like a boomerang right back to the known food source!
Do you guys do pigeon rescue/rehab as well? Is that why you have a coop?
We raise pigeons to help feed the sick, injured and orphaned critters we care for.
@@GowildlifeOrg ha! The circle of life. I had a sick rescue pigeon in my bathroom when I saw this video and thought, "Oh! Martin and Susan rescue pigeons, too. Fantastic!" LOL But I get it.

LOL right back to the coop.
Lol. Aww she just wanted to meet you
I came for the Cooper's and stayed for the Spoo

Going fine
lol she got in over her head
nice
Hi again Martin I always wanted to ask you have you ever trained a wild bird from what I've read it's pretty hard what say you
Yes, Martin is a master falconer
@@GowildlifeOrg oh you're so right Martin is a master falconer but I just wondered if he had ever trapped an adult bird and then trained it for falconry
Scout was captured as an adult. Get Martin's book and read about it.
@@michellegrovak thanks Grandma I appreciate it
I hate to ask, but I got to… Did she get any of the pigeons? I’ll tell you besides a hummingbird I’ve never seen a bird fly more acrobatically than one of those
Did he make all those cuts on your hands?
50+ years of working with critters leaves a mark or two
The bird looks like it's trapped in an existential nightmare.
"she's beautiful"
She: :V
Beauty male or female!
