Hawk Rescued From Drowning, His Reaction Was...

here on the daddy curbs farm sometimes we get some some interaction with wildlife that's pretty exciting and fun to share in previous videos you've seen the hawk in the chicken coop and also the owl which perished because presumably was killed by the hawk this time we get a new interaction with a hawk and it was just kind of interesting how it happened out doing chicken duties at night and just glanced into the rain tank to discover this not sure how it ended up in here some kind of a hawk we're gonna help it get out I don't want to put my hand in there out to figure out how to get something up under it give some gloves poor guy you can't fly like this look I have to put him in a crate or something and keep them inside underneath that cows will eat him yeah I don't want to risk him hurting any of us or himself so I'm going to attempt to scooping scoop him into the cage and if we keep him in the cage overnight he'll dry out and then we can let him go in the morning I'm really curious [Music] I mean he's floating that's good I see a frog maybe he saw something he was diving in to get it that's possible okay be nice get back no he's got make sure his feeder on something okay [Music] I guess he hasn't having a chicken lately he's hungry so I answered aha yes I don't know well we're gonna let him dry out I want to keep him safe while he's drying out because please don't know and then tomorrow we'll open the cage hopefully tonight [Music] you can dry out and be ready for flight tomorrow we're just putting a cage around it to add an extra barrier just in case raccoons come up all right little guy stay safe get dry see you in the morning now that it's morning you can see the hawk in the cage this is the same cage that I used to scoop it out of the water we are guessing that this is a red-shouldered hawk that's our best guess when I called the organization the rescue organization their suggestion was to make sure that it's completely dried out and then just open the cage and see if it can fly if not if it's having difficulty flying if it seems to not want to get into the air then we can call them back and they will have somebody come out it's the bird up and rehabilitate the bird you can see in the bottom of the cage that frog the dead frog that was laying in the bottom of the tank I put it in here and that bird did have a meal last night which is encouraging so now that it's daytime and the bird appears to be all dried out and happy well it didn't look happy but we're gonna try to let it go we're gonna try it first just to open the cage and see if he'll go out on his own hopefully that works I don't think he likes me being here we have several cameras set up now I'm going to set this one up and we're gonna walk around the corner hopefully giving this guy the idea that it's okay to move probably a little intimidating for him to have us sitting here we're trying to be respectful of distance but he probably still doesn't want to come out of the cage with us sitting here so we're gonna set the camera up and walk away clearly this isn't working so I'm going to see if I can just encourage him to move a little bit once he gets out of the wire cage I'm hoping he figures out that he's free and he can go home there we go out the door out the door [Music] there you go now you're out [Music] okay pull this away there you go you're free and it close the gate now you're out now we just need to make sure you can fly white keep my way we don't know [Music] there we go that's what we want to see that's what we want to see [Music] there we go bye bye big bird that's precisely what I wanted to seed with that bird fly up sit in a tree and just look healthy and I think it does that was very cool to be a part of that Byrd's journey if we would have left it in the tank overnight chances are he would have drowned so giving him getting him out of the water and into a safe place to dry out and then space the fly away well that was pretty cool we probably didn't do everything exactly right because we're not experts but it's it was good for us I feel like it was good for us to call last chance forever which is the bird rescue and take their advice and also to keep an eye on the bird as it flew away to make sure that it was going to be healthy enough to fly and go back into nature otherwise it could have been rehabilitated thank you so much for being a part of my story here today here on the daddy Kurt's farm we believe that everyone has a story and every story counts so thank you for being a part of mine and allowing me to be a part of yours

I thought it was about to jump back in

Well that was anticlimactic... With that title I thought something unexpected would happen

Imagine drowning and a ufo comes and saves you and let's you dry off. Then the next morning, they alien opens the door, but he just sits there staring at you. Then, he leaves the room, but you know he's just around the corner because he keeps poking his head around to see if you've left.

Any drowning hawks can go fuck themselves now because I just cant risk a boring reaction again.
