You'd be a while trying to strangle that though................. Never seen a Goshawk...glad we dont have them here, one less b*****d hook beak to worry about. I wonder if they'd eat Buzzards ? They'd have plenty to eat anyway if they did!!!............ I still have some birds on the rearing field and was catching some up last week and one got out. Went for a walk a few hours later and the dog found it dead under a tree. Buzzard had it and there 14 weeks old.............Obviously it was swooping down for a mouse and collided with the pheasant and decide to eat it out of sympathy!!!.

Not really mate they tend to get a throat hold and kill as quick as possible....i'm sure tigers suffocate prey as well? Hyennas seem to eat it and are not interested in the kill as well as killer whales that like to f**k about with seals before they kill them? Always makes me think why some animals/birds choose not to kill first before eating?...
-
Why dont they do this everytime? I have found countless kills half eaten and had to end the birds suffering........how they are still alive god only knows with a half a breast missing or half a back section gone.

Some of the falconry lads might be able to answer that best, but I'm it's definitely not just younger birds learning, and I think Sparrowhawks feet are designed more for catching and holding rather than puncturing and killing, therefore as soon as bigger prey is immobilised they start to eat it. Also why waste energy killing when it can eat it alive? And time spent on the ground with prey they can't lift, is time when they're most vulnerable to other predators? I've always just wondered why they do that and probably another reason i'm not to keen on them. Have they got any predators really?

Is there a reason why they dont kill the bird outright and decide to eat them when they are still alive? Or is this a trait in younger birds learning how to catch its own food?...
