I meant that

😂😂😂

😂

Hawks move like stink.

Nice technoblade reference

Its crazy that little baby cute hawks get eaten by other big hawks.

@@SaintShionit’s a bird eat bird world

Kittens aren't top predators. Kestrels are. These are not harmless birds. They are raptors, made for killing.

​@@D.H.1082I'm confused by what u mean.

​​@@user-catlover666it's true that kittens aren't top predators, but cats are. They are highly effective killing machines with a wide variety of prey. Kestrels are even more effective tiny killers. And just as adorable. I get what was originally meant.

😂😂😂❤❤❤

​@@lycheemyusicHe said a videogame reference, it was a good joke

​@@jamesvancam Judging by the emojis, it appears as though they know this!

​@@John-wf5dm you are incredible unfunny even for reddit standards.

He just thinks of himself as a killing machine!😂

Underrated comment 😂

😂😂😂😂😂

Completely 😂

🤣🤣🤣💛

Damn now i need someone to make an animated movie about raptors 😂 maybe the folks who made sausage party 🤔

Balance? I had to go back to see! It's adorable so thank you for pointing it out.

Same!! 😂❤

Its the antenna. Birds arent real.

@@cdogthehedgehog6923 Exactly. When will people wake up and realize how many government drones are out spying on us?

kestrels in particular are known for their tail bobbing/pumping!! the current idea is that it helps with balance/stability, besides looking freaking adorable

Yes! Ducks too. I have raised both and it’s so cool when you develop an ear for what they’re communicating. The little nuances in calls become very clear. When I’m at the park now I can understand the tone/general intention behind what the ducks are quacking, the head bob, etc. Very cool feeling.

It's funny when people call each other bird brains when birds are actually smarter than given credit for! Lol

My chickens are dumb jerks that bully eachother, eat voraciously and poop constantly. They are slowly letting me pet them with meal worm bribery now. 😂

​@@clockworkNatecareful, they may step up to more pricey bribery

Too, they are the fastest flying of winged hawks, eagles, raptors.

try being one of its nestlings... they know what time it is,,when mom screws at them to 'run for your life'

I've heard it so many times in the past and thought it was a tiny hawk.

In person and up close, it's still adorable, but it's also ear-piercing. I used to work at a wildlife rehab clinic, and one of our animals in the non-releasable collection was a kestrel who loved to scream his disgruntlement at the world. It's amazing how loud and offended that one tiny little bird can sound.

There's a eagle nearby

What do u mean exactly by bite you to take flight? Really curious what you mean

@@ericericson1510 They will literally bite, sometimes even drawing blood (not really intentionally) if they sense a threat. They want you to get away.

​@@ericericson1510if you use your brain and look for context clues you'll realize that they meant "bite you to encourage you to take flight"

​@@derekhunter5040sounding a little insecure there buddy

@@derekhunter5040Kind of a dumb take considering they’re asking for more information.

Indeed. You never know if what they see can grab YOU one day.

With binoculars. Otherwise you might not see what they see.

I’d say birds in general tbh When I see my ducks or chicken look up, 9/10 there is any overhead predator

parrot owners too, my budgie knows 😅

​@@Palpo_pics I was driving in the car with my mother today and we drove past a woman doing garden work and she had a big red macaw on her shoulder while she was on her knees digging. I have never been that close to one of these huge birds and it was gorgeous.

"He stomps! He stomps! He does the kestrel stomps!" 😂

Omg someone else who’s seen those videos!! I love Nala 😂

Do the kessy stomp!!

Lol Nala stomps 😂 The pet animal cinematic universe is expanding…

I understood that reference 😂

I think it's the same one he just his voice over drowns out the video sound

@@DavidThomas-qq4hf you can clearly tell it’s not.

It is cute but it’s a defense mechanism that it would’ve used anyway for survival.

Like cat with wings 😊

What does this even Mean ? As if predators were bad ?! WTF ?! SMH...

Then when..level 36? Trying to see how much I remember after 16 years lol

In real life, not everyone meets the evolve conditions for their Pokémon. Some dudes are even stuck with Pikachu’s their whole life

He didn't feel the need to state the obvious.

I want one

That's because falcons and kestrels aren't actually closely related to hawks and owls. They are closer to songbirds and parrots. But they get lumped into 'raptors' colloquially because of similar features.

​@@mastabaswow didn't know that. Thanks for the new info.

Hey there quick question, I’m an amateur on my bird knowledge but how big do kestrels get compared to other birds like hawks or owls, also how do they not hurt you I’ve seen many videos with people holding the with their bare hands?

​@Ybrando123 a male kestrel gets about 10 inches tall. Females are more like 12".

Probably also helps that kestrels and other falcons are realtively small and their talons and feet are pretty weak when compared to larger birds of prey.

plotting ? or maybe cheering ? 😭😭😂

Are you sure falcons? Hawks and falcons are in completely different orders. Hawks being in the same family order as secretary birds, ospreys, new world vultures, and being in the same family as eagles, real hawks, buzzards (buzzards are the real name for what you would call the red tailed hawk etc.) old world vultures etc. Falcons are in an order of their own, with the caracaras. Falcons are usually smaller, more sleek and tend to be faster.

@@Just_shush_now yes, two falcons, one on a tree, the other on a pole, screaming to each other from across the field as the flock of crows attacked the red tail hawk across the pond. I’ve had a love of animals my whole life and I know the difference between hawks, eagles, vultures, and falcons

@@kcnoel5270 oh, so what falcon was it?

@@Just_shush_now kestrel I believe

I wonder which one spotted who first lol.

Bird eyes are so sharp, its mind boggling. (most birds that is)

And here my pigeons are getting hit by cars cause the damn things are not looking out.

Ren Faire: the hawk thinks the sunshade is a demon. He’ll fly out to the chocolate booth and scream angrily at the screen. The kestrel stares at the hawk in confusion

That’s doubtful. The kestrel is hidden in the shade of the vehicle interior, and there might be a reflection on the glass too.

They also do the tail flick when they are on wires, and it is a bit windy !

Tmbien puede ser sed

TIL

Have you never seen a bird which seems to be flapping it's wings but staying motionless over a field? That's a Kestrel

@@74yodinosaur99 nope, I have never been blessed to see that. I’ve never heard of these beautiful creatures.

apparently, it's a sign of distress

And the lil foot stomp

​@@ytyoungrichnhighThere actually isn't a reason for it that has been proven for it yet. AKs are still very under researched at this current moment.

Not all of them parrots have a really bad one

​@@DK19998 ya birds of prey have the superior vision for sure :D

@@DK19998 Parrots only have poor vision. Daylight their eyes are several times better than ours.

Seems like I read somewhere that their vision is 8 times better than ours... but that may have been songbirds. Not sure if predatory birds' vision is even better than that...?

@@DK19998Maybe because they are not a bird of prey.

And the tail. Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down.

Pretty neat to watch them fly after prey. Less squeak-toy aura. 🙂

Lol. Right. I agree.

It can be majestic and squeezable at the same time.

@@Eragon0716 Left. Right. A. B. Start.

Well. Dangerous to everything the size of a chihuahua. Definitely not you xD

Living dinosaurs- get that fluffy Dino some dinner

"just do your intro and I'll know my queue when to squeak" 😂 - the bird maybe

Did you miss the cut before the calling, or the fairly obvious voiceover?😊

You've never heard of voiceovers? I'm impressed by how quickly you're willing to call someone out and not admit you're wrong afterward. 😂

*E D I T I N G*

Actually, Poster just moved himself out of the line of sight of the Kestrel so even birbs are victim to peek-a-boo 😅

You will be suprissrd yo know then that many bird of prey can spot a tiny ant from up the sky

@@cyruskensaro7057 yea

Can probably see a lot further than that like a mouse in grass from far in the sky

@@ciaranbyrne6255 yea

You should look up sawwhet owls

They’re federally protected, meaning they’re protected in all 50 states. I have a falconry permit that allows me to work with them.

​@@thatsnakeguy2074 Ah... I was wondering that because I know, or I believe All raptors are federally protected. As they should be. 🙂

All native North American birds are protected by the federal migratory bird treaty act. The exceptions would for example pigeons, English sparrows and European starlings these birds are invasive

Let's edit Jurassic Park, using squeaky toy sounds for the dinosaurs. Take the rating from PG-13 down to a G!!!

“Only On the Next DOGFIGHTs”

Your kestrel is so cute ❤

That's not what that means.

The kind that was supposed to a backflip, but just kind of hopped and sometimes fell over? They were still around in the late 90s and early 2000s, when I grew up.

Probably hearing killdeer, a similar sounding and much more common bird!

Damn, you know things are getting tough when birbs are working 9-5 jobs with people. Glad to hear they're good coworkers lol.

@@JohnWayne-86ed They get good overtime and free room and board. xD

Absolutely! I used to have a job cleaning cages at a rehab center (didn't directly work with the birds) and out of their non-releasable birds, one male kestrel was the friendly one. You'd pass by his cage and he'd walk over to look at you and do a little head bob. They were training him to be an outreach/education bird. (The crows were dicks--understandably bored, poor guys, but still it wasn't fun to go in to their cage to sweep and have them pull your hair! They'd also steal your brush sometimes.)

I think the small crab has best site in world.

No, it doesn’t mean they can see scent. They can see UV light which the urine of rodents emits

@@thatsnakeguy2074 And possibly electricity, aka, active power lines.

@@DaWhiteWolffie no they can’t see electricity.

@@thatsnakeguy2074😂😂 I love it
