It was almost 70 outside today so I took HW out to Petsmart to see his friend. After we came home we went out for a little walk. I always keep my eye on the sky when I am out with him and he is NEVER out without his harness. All of a sudden I see out of the corner of my eye a hawk, by the time my brain could register what was happening he was upon us. I grabbed HW and ducked and when I did I let out a scream. I guess I scared the hawk cuz he was about 10 or so feet above my head when he turned and flew off. :deer:
That was a bit scary.

wow!! i would think that a hawk wouldnt attack a parrot that was on a person. that is just absolutely terrifying. ya know, i dont think ive even seen a hawk round here.  i'm sure we have 'em. after all, its a great temp most of the year for birds. |

I did a quick look see by googling "Hawk attacks parrot" and cam across quite a few attacks, mostly people and dogs being attacked by hawks, but came across this one. http://www.parrotforum.net/grey-survives-hawk-attack-1429.htmlI learned first hand about hawk attacks when one snatched our female tiel. |

We have mostly red tails in our area.
